Brad,

Sorry to hear of the problems, but glad you got something!  Conditions in Seattle were good, and things _mostly_ cooperated.  My pointing was off for the exit from eclipse, but I caught it two minutes later.  Here is a 60 second exposure from an 8” Celestron RASA + ASI 294MC and Luminance filter. 

I took a variety of exposures, and will post some better-processed pictures on Friday.

I had considered going to my big scope and seeing it visually, but since I have absolutely no confidence in itelescopes anymore, I chose to stay home so I would have sure internet for what would surely occur.
