The first U.S. location to experience the annular "ring of fire" stage of the eclipse will be Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PT (12:13 p.m. EDT, 1613 GMT) on Oct. 14. Prior to that, the partial eclipse stage of the eclipse begins off the West Coast of the United States at 11:03 EDT (1503 GMT.)
The eclipse will then pass through seven other U.S. states before moving across the Gulf of Mexico and over Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Brazil, making the famous "ring of fire" visible to millions of people.
You can see the whole path of annularity including start and end times for different stages of the solar eclipse at each location in this interactive map created by French eclipse expert Xavier Jubier. NASA has also created a helpful interactive map for those interested in tracking the eclipse across the U.S. down to the last second and seeing what it will look like from select destinations along the route.
Luckily for me, the path center will go right over my house. I plane to align my iOptron tracker with true north the night before. Then hopefully, with the tracker set to track the Sun, I’ll be able to take pictures of several phases to compile later and won’t need to keep moving my camera to keep it centered.
I’ve shot a total eclipse before but never an annular.

I look forward to seeing your photos.

Unfortunately we will probably be cloudy.
iPhone photo at 80% max. Clouds just made it darker than usual.

Too bad about the clouds.
