Man, crisp clear sky and people wearing long sleeves and jackets! It was 95 degrees here and high humidity. I couldn't see the screen because of sweat dripping in my eyes. I'm not jealous or anything... Yes I am.
Here are a couple shots of my set up. I had to go to Raleigh for a meeting in the morning and took a half day off to rush back home to set up in the driveway (first shot) but I did have it tethered to my MacBook and airplay to my TV in the house. So got a break from the heat (second shot).
I wasn't in totality here, but we did have some of the neighbors come over and ended up having a small party in the driveway. I kept having to remember to be sure to take a picture from time to time.
FYI - the Fuji tethered capture plug-in to Lightroom works great!

Just a question George - what's that little thing hanging on the bottom of the lens? With the wires sticking out of it....
Peter, are you trying to get me to use the F word on here?
Went with the Fuji because of the focus peaking and tilt screen. If I save up my money, I may be able to afford that new Nikon 850 coming out tomorrow by the time the next eclipse comes here in 2024 )

The D850 is looking to be an excellent tripod camera for landscapes, astrophotography, etc. due to the tilting screen, lighted buttons, electronic shutter, better live view, etc. But oh that introductory price (& my D800 is worth that much anymore)!
