Went out las night and beheld the near total eclipse and [took this pic with my camera phone](https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/f15ed1bf-2eaa-4cc7-bc3e-304a8e2fe693_l.jpg) which came out surprising well considering it was dark out and I didn’t use a tripod. It was a little redder than this photo IRL. ---

I had binoculars and it was beautiful. I had the benefit of some wispy clouds that made it extra spooky. I tried to get my phone camera to get a picture through the eyepiece, but it has a 3-lens camera and it stubbornly refused to cooperate. ---
