I know this is old news but I thought I'd post anyway: the weather gods cooperated at the last minute. We had a high thin overcast which dissipated at totality so I took a few whacks at the moon with my camera and scope.

Olympus E330 behind a Celestron C5 with a .63 reducer, all riding on a CG5 equatorial mount; exposures varied from about 1/250 second on the full moon to 4 or 5 seconds on the eclipsed moon.

Total eclipse.
