Early Eclipse (then I gave up!).
I stayed up until around 1:00am to try and photograph the eclipse, but gave up shortly after. Clouds where moving in and I was getting tired!

Looks good. What lens and settings did you use ?

You made it longer than I did. Called it a night at 830pm before it started and when I got up at 430am it was already over.

Scott,
The clouds took a bit longer to reach Topeka. I stayed out until almost totality but with the cloud cover it was impossible to see the moon through the SLR.

Nice crisp shot as usual.

Thanks for posting it.

nice, Scott. I woke up and peeked out at about 1230, but was too tired to stay up.

Thanks everyone.

Andrew: I shot this with Canon's 100-400mm@400mm, f5.6, 1/200, ISO 400. This shot is heavily cropped as well.
