I flew back to Iowa (home) and we drove down to Missouri to view. Chased the
edge of the front for a while and set roots down in New Franklin Missouri.
About 30-40 people in the group.
Sun was totally covered about an hour before start. Thinned out about 10
minutes prior and while we were observing through Cirrus clouds the views and
photographs were great.
I will post them when I get back into town (Sunday or after) and get the "film"
developed. Links will be here: www.beevo.org
I got a shot of the diamond ring on re-emergence and a couple of solar flares
to boot.
Canon digital back, 80-200 L Glass zoom with a 2.0X and 1.4X tele-convertor
stacked. Decent results all things considered.

I haven't seen any news from Arizona eclipse chasers. How was it up in Oregon?
Our family group of 11 people, ages 1 to 75, were a couple miles south of
Carbondale, Il. We had about 30% cover of cumulus clouds, but fortunately
there was a huge sucker-hole leading up to and during totality. Thousands of
people just North of us were less fortunate. They were clouded out at the
Southern Illinois University Stadium. At least they had a lot of entertainment
up there, including a performance by Ozzy Osbourne singing "Bark at the Moon".
