    80% here, very clear sky, with the glasses it was a nice clean crescent.

    The iPhone picture through the glasses is just a big blur

    Yeah, I tried that as well.

    This was at about 80%.

          We had perfect weather. 55 degrees, and not one cloud. We went up to the rooftop terrace of our building.

          I was surprised at how "not dark" it got. Even with 94% totality, it didn't even approach dusk level of darkness.

            Yeah, we didn’t get the corona but man it got dark. Lot and stadium lights came on.

              By chance I was at Warby Parker about a week ago and they were giving out eclipse glasses, limit 2 per. customer.

              They're home on my dresser. I tried to look through the iPhone from here in Siesta Key but that didn't work. When I did a quick (and I mean quick) take eye glance I noticed for just a spilt second there was a chunk missing. But if you were on the beach here and hadn't heard, you would not have suspected a thing. That with no cloud clover.

                  Posted this in the other thread too.

                  89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
                  Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.
                  271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
                  It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

                          @Copper I was telling Mrs. George about the coincidence of the moon's distance and size, relative to the sun today.

                          I started thinking about what an eclipse on Mars would look like, considering the small size of Phobos and Deimos.
