Okay, this isn't really Arizona or observing related, but some list members did 
view the solar eclipse yesterday.

The Meteosat-8 weather satellite that is parked over western Africa imaged the 
shadow of the moon passing over the continent.  It shows up particularly well 
over the bright landscape of the Sahara.  There are some nice images at this 
site.  The time-lapse animation is the best one of these I have ever seen.
