It was hazy where I was at in Kirby, AR. And we were real tight on space on this trip, so no scope and mount. But I did manage to get a few shots with my DSLR. Looks OK, but not like our view through binoculars. That was amazing.

Here was maximum coverage from St. Augustine, Florida. Click for a less than stellar (see what I did there) animation on Astrobin.
PS. I have no idea how to process H-alpha solar images.

I had zero expectations for any of my pictures to look even remotely decent, so I'm pretty happy with the results. Pics were taken with a Canon 6D and a 200mm telephoto lens, pics were cropped but otherwise untouched.

Your Diamond Ring image is a money shot, well done!

We got lucky, locate Mount Pleasant, tx.
tell me more about that seestar? I wondered how gimmicky those smart scopes are, but for an all in one, they seem to make some darn decent pics. Not even really using the price as a comparison lol.
Also for others, most of the pics thru clouds still look perfect... the extra cloud effect near gives it a cool different effect as well.

Dallas, TX (from my back yard near downtown)
Canon 600D attached to ZWO FF107 w/reducer (~550 FL) on top of AM5 Mount (that had been polar aligned the previous night). The camera was controlled via SETnC. Will see what else I can find as I shift through the hundreds of photos taken via 3 different cameras/scopes.
Very little processing to adjust the colors.

West Frankfort City Park Illinois near the end of the eclipse. The massive prominence was awesome to see just visually, a bright reddish pink radiance among the white glow of the Corona. Here is a raw image from a video frame shot near the end of the eclipse thru my 8 inch dobsonian, 32mm plossl, afocal on an iPhone7.
