Here's the eclipse a little later. The shadow started to move off the moon and some light clouds started to drift in.

Well, the big event yesterday, April 8th, was the solar eclipse.
The totality path was south and west of where I live. It was like the sky was overcast, still plenty of sunlight. I watched the event on television as the network had reporters located in different cities in the path.
I had to fight the clouds but was able to come away with some eclipse photos. I had my Astro modified EOS 70D attached to my Coronado 70mm SolarMax III with dual hydrogen alpha filters which has a 400mm focal length. I had it tracking the sun on my Sky Watcher AZ-GTi Star tracker. Iāve photographed the sun using this setup on several occasions, but never through clouds before. The clouds made it extremely difficult to focus so I got it close enough for government work. The clouds became thicker as the eclipse went on and started to completely cover the sun at times. The clouds became too thick for me to be able to adjust for tracking drift. Not long after maximum the sun disappeared behind the clouds for good. I gave these photos a strong sepia tone after processing them in black and white, which seemed to enhance the details of the sun a little more.
