We were in Hiawatha, KS and it was cloudy (and raining much of the time), but at exactly the right second the clouds opened up (or at least thinned enough that we could see the eclipse!). It was pretty amazing timing - where we were had 2:38 of totality and the clouds thinned for about 2:40! I would have liked to have had a better sky, but I reckon you have to work with what ya got...I think the little dot on the left of a couple of them is Mercury, although it may be a star. I need to do some research to figure that out...
