Skies in Azle alternated from almost completely clear to passing clumps of cirrus clouds with holes between. I was able to snap off about 50 pictures until about mid-eclipse. Around 9:40PM the wind switched to the north as the cold front arrived, the temperature started dropping, and the sky completely clouded over in a matter of minutes, for the rest of the night.
Equipment: Takahashi TOA-130S on tracking GEM, Canon XTi at ISO 200, exposures from 1 to 1.6 seconds (a very bright eclipse!).
The first shot is a deep exposure during the partial phase, showing the reds and yellows coming in.
