Great images, and congrats to Rogelio on the APOD!

Here is my contribution. I flew all the way from Indianapolis to San Francisco for this eclipse, but instead of the Golden Gate Bridge I chose the rocky coast of Big Sur (South of Santa Cruz, CA) for my foreground.

Lets start with a few images taken through the telescope (ED80 on a Celestron AVX mount... a lot of work to carry all that gear!!!!)

And now some wide angle images.

And finally, a composition of several frames showing the progression of the eclipse with its reflection in a tide pool:

I must say that it was an exhausting trip. I spent the first night (after flying to SF) scouting for places to set up my gear alongside the coast (and slept in my car) and then spent the second night taking the pictures with the help of some friends who live in California.

More images will be available on my website as I finish processing them: [url]http://www.jfgout.com[/url]

A few minutes before totality. Most of the Moon is in the Earth's umbral shadow, while the upper sliver of the Moon is in the penumbral shadow.

Lunar eclipse, just leaving totality as the Moon sets from Colorado, with the sky already getting quite light 40 minutes before official sunrise.
