Won't take the gloss off a fantastic eclipse with perfect weather. The Diamond Ring was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, ever. Spent most of the time looking at the corona through binoculars, that was spectacular.

They got the timing wrong where I was, I'm pretty sure totality only lasted 30 seconds! Where does the time go?

Surreal, spectacular, amazing!!!
Allan with the unaided eye how many solar radii out do you think you could see the Corona before it was indistuingishable from the background sky? and did you see the three distinct lobes (with the eye)?
