Default Eclipse a Wash in Maryland

39° 04' 40.61"N 76° 39' 33.46"W My wife and I were able to see a few
minutes through a break in the clouds just prior to the beginning of
totality, then a few minutes more after the onset of totality. I had
the Questar and camera ready a few feet away in the garage, but
bringing it out would have been a fool's errand.

Bright and clear night here(Netherlands), not at all
what was predicted, and so we had a nice moonshow.

Clear and calm weather in the west of France, beautiful show.
I'll put the photos online a bit later.

Not a cloud in the sky in Eastern England at the start of the eclipse but variable cloud layer on. Could see the moon most of the time even when the cloud was in the way.

Unless you are tiny dwarves, that position cannot refer to both you
and your wife, since you gave the position to a precision of 0.3
meters...

Beautiful clear night here in SoCal, we sat on the deck with the 15 X 70's on a tripod and enjoyed the entire show, eating Chinese take-out and a bottle of wine....

We're acrobats. My wife stood on my shoulders.
