Hi all :) Here are a couple of images of the eclipse from my location in Las Cruces, NM USA. I have been in eclipses in the past (total and annular), so did not travel for this one :) I have a link to more info after the "Max" image. Here you go!

The Boogie Man Nebula
http://jeffjastro.com
Hi all :) Here is a close look at "The Boogie Man" Nebula - LDN 1622 I used the big (TOA-130F) scope for this one, and was the first object that night. I imaged it when the EM200 mount was quite a ways past the meridian, which is impressive. Focus was not perfect as this started just as a test. The RGB from that night was not usable, so I used the RGB from the widefield / smaller scope from one year ago nearly to the day of this image.
TOA-130F (FS-60 for RGB), EM200, QSI540wsg
5x20min Ha, 3x10min L (bin1x1); 2x5min ea RGB (bin2x2);
10xdarks/flats/fdarks/bias.
