A much cleaner editing process yielded these results:

And if you aren't sick of these yet, here is another composite. I did edit some totality shots to approximate the diamond ring phases as I had the filter on for those to protect my scope's optics:

And finally a better edit to show the details of the inner Corona:

I did another edit on this shot to show more detail in the inner Corona.

Definitely and I will never forget it!

Here is my composite shot from my experience. I used a Seestar S50 to capture these:

Here is my composite:

Most think it is shadows generated by atmospheric turbulence because the light is much more diffuse at that point.

It sure did! We had perfect viewing conditions!

I was curious if anyone here saw shadow bands just before totality. Some people around us say they did.

Had beautiful conditions in Arkansas!

So amazing! I am so glad you got to experience this! This was my second go at it and yes once is enough to get you hooked! Totality is an entirely different world. My Arkansas plan paid off beautifully! I got this today:

Hahah it should have been but I never thought VT would see clear skies in April. I also wanted to maximize my time in totality. Weather forecasts here have become more optimistic. Any clouds we have may see should be thin cirrus at least.
