Jeff Terry's Astrophotos/Great American Eclipse Aug 21, 2017.jpg

The first part of the eclipse had clouds that affected viewing significantly. You can see clouds bands in two of the images. We lost about 20 minutes to heavy cloud cover in the first half of the eclipse. While it did clear up, you can see clouds drifting across totality in the video and the above image. It wasn't really visible to the eye or the brain just blasted it away. These clouds did play havoc with the imaging. It was hard to normalize the intensity and there are images taken with much worse seing. The eclipse was still and absolutely incredible thing to see.

The image is a mosaic of 50 averaged frames of 1.5 millisecond exposures with a Lunt Solar 80mm H-alpha Pressure Tuned Telescope.
The camera was an Imaging Source DMK firewire camera controlled with AstroIIDC.
The scope is mounted on a AP 1200 Equitorial Mount.
The image was aligned and summed from the raw movie data in ASTROIIDC and then final processing completed using the 64 bit version of iCCD.
