It wasn't a full eclipse where I am but about 80% of the Sun was covered so it was still pretty awesome. This is a photo of the eclipse at it's climax taken directly from my phone camera:
Here is a similar image taken by holding my solar filter over my phone camera:
After taking these I set up my telescope about as fast as humanly possible and took these two images by holding my phone camera up to the eyepiece:
And these were taken a bit later right before the clouds came in and blocked my view again, you can even see a sunspot:

Froya, yes, definitely know the feeling of place not cleaning itself, and yes, I have the right to enjoy events just like everyone else.
Lillikoi, good luck this week. And if you're scared, maybe we can help or offer understanding/encouragement.

I feel bad 
I think I've hurt someone who considered me to be a friend.
How could I be so inconsiderate. I don't know when it's my turn to take contact, or when I'm supposed to do so. I tend to pull away. I don't trust anyone either.
Maybe it has to do with me not reflecting about others much. I haven't taken the time to think about people. But if I do, I put myself in the risk of getting hurt... I don't let anyone inside my protective shell.
