It was fantastic! I trust no one on here, who saw it, now believes that the Moon is translucent.

We noticed a red dot just left of center bottom and zoomed in on it.  It stayed exactly the same shape the entire time (we have several pictures of it).  Not sure what that was.




We saw the red areas too! It was amazing! Great pictures!

Anyone else get this eery feeling like we were in some weird, scary movie?  The lighting was just so odd. It was dusk, but it wasn't.  It was as if the sun was setting in the distance, and yet it didn't.

We saw the red dot in that same spot and wondered what it was.

Did y'all see the large outer ring form in the sky as the eclipse progressed?

Yes, we noticed that some geese started squawking very loudly right before totality.  Then when it hit totality, they went completely silent ... and crickets started chirping.

Yes, not sure what that was, but we were able to zoom in on it.  I would initially have thought solar flares, but the triangular thing retained its exact shape and size for almost the entire time of totality (about 2.5 minutes here where I'm at).  I would think that it would have changed in size/shape at least slightly during that period of time.
