Best picture I’ve seen of the eclipse! Good job!
One to rule them all…
Ooh pretty! Well done.

Thanks as always, Tokyoboy. Google translation here. -w.
Cool. Thank you.
All it needs is a “Smiley Face”. Well, maybe not. This was real.
Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it put a smile on your face.
Stacey, nice photo — too bad about all the driving. Return Safe.
Fabulous image Stacey!
We are a few hundred miles south of Pyramid Lake, so had a “chunk out” eclipse. Just enough to feel the difference in the solar load. The sunlight is different, kind of like having light very good sunglasses on.
Centered just perfectly! Middle of the track and timed just right. Great job.
You guys drove to Yahupetzville for that? I could’ve made this for you in Photoshop…a yellow, 24 pt circle on a black background > copy same in new layer, give it a gaussian blur (about 3 pixels) > 30% percent transparency and bingo-bango-bongo, you’s got an eclipse 🙂
But seriously, the photo is sheer haunting elegance; kudos to the Missus/Miss Watts!
FanTAStic photo! Well done, Stacy!
Nice shot!
Fantastic!! Job well done. 🙂
Great picture, Stacey. Way to go!
We now get super powers right?
Bulls eye! We got rained out but I made a 2-hour time lapse of it anyway. The self-adjusting shutter canceled most of the fading light, so even that was a near-fail. That’s Seattle for you.
We had our own small eclipse party in a public park in Sacramento. We saw the eclipse through a Personal Solar Telescope, through holes in cardboard presented on a back up surfaces, through crescent images in shadows from leafy trees, on fences from leaf projections, on playground equipment through holes in equipment elements. We saw it everywhere we looked.
But nothing as clean and perfect as your family’s photo on the centerline.
Kudos to you and yours. What a wonderful evening.
Here in Pleasanton Ca. it looked really cool on the side of my home showing through the leaves on a tree, cheshire cat(s) smiling or pac-man dancing in the wind.
Awesome… Thanks!
(And you got to share it with the kids. Priceless.)
Great! Thanks for sharing, and your children will remember it. I’m sure it was worth the effort, and the conference won’t suffer.
And Stacey, too!
Just beautiful. Thanks
I hiked up Table Rock and got this picture:

It was with a phone, no filters or anything so it is mostly the sun, but you can still faintly see the moon on the upper left quadrant formed by the contrail and the vertical line of sunlight. There was also a gorgeous halo around the sun which showed up somewhat in the photo as well.
Nice, Stacey… let’s know when you start your blog…
Stunning!!
