Maryland is in the partial range and that starts at 2 and we get the full thing around 330.
 
Sadly, this doesn't go anywhere near me (since I'm in the UK), but I hope those of you who are in the range will enjoy it!

I actually enjoyed this one. It was dark out, like dusk for about 10 minutes here.
 
We watched the early part of it on TV, then went out with a homemade projector and watched it for awhile.

Here it got to about 90%. It got dim, the street lights came on, the birds acted weird, and the frog in our small pond started croaking.
 
The timing of this eclipse was awful for me. Otherwise I would have made an effort to travel for it as this one wouldn't have required international travel. Seeing and photographing a total solar eclipse is on my bucket list.

We only got about 35% here...plus it ended up being overcast.
