Has anyone found any stupid high res shots of the eclipse? I want to use one as a desktop background.
I traveled to Erie for the eclipse. Totality was amazing, the drive home sucked (7.5 hrs). My wife said it was a lot of effort for 3 minutes, I told her that's the story of my life.

I'm glad things worked out in Erie. That was my original plan to travel to from Pittsburgh, but the forecast scared me and I went west instead to meet some Amateur Astronomy Association of Pittsburgh folks west of Akron, Ohio. Were you stuck in the gridlock to get to Erie in the morning?

No we shot up 79 from cranberry around 11, almost no traffic. We were actually just south of Erie, west Springfield.
Getting back to Philly sucked rear end though (we stayed at my in-laws in Pittsburgh for the weekend)

Why does it bother me so much these astrophotography people I associate with not know any of their constellations?

Why does this bother me so much? This poo poo is something I want to explore next year or the year after, but holy poo poo these people approach it like a drive-by shooting.
