Just a heads up that there will be a partial solar eclipse for us tomorrow. The Sun will be obstructed by the Moon by approximately a third of it's surface. You may not even really notice it if you weren't aware of it.

The eclipse starts right around 5:00PM for us, and will be continuing through sunset. There is a pretty cool animation of it and additional info here. Of course, if trying to observe it, use proper eye protection to avoid damage to your eyes. One suggestion is to use a #14 welder's glass for safe viewing. The giant sunspot currently on the Sun's surface should add some additional interest to this eclipse.

A few of the shots I got from yesterday.
I thought it was interesting that the giant sunspot looked like a bug with two antennae sticking out from the bottom.
