Simmerman, who saw the eclipse from Wilson, Wyoming, wrote:
“Extremely clear sky. Saw shadow bands, leaf lens images, drastic drop in
temperature and light as well. Other celestial objects popped out. I didn’t plan
for the darkness and I lost sight of my camera settings. The flash went off by
itself and I could see the luminescence on my watch numerals.
Overall, an awesome experience!”

An animated take on the eclipse experience, by Rob Pettengill,
who
observed in Tarrington, Wyoming. He wrote: “Condensing
high-resolution still images
into a 256-image, color, animated GIF compromises image detail and quality.
The payoff is that you can see the entire 3-hour eclipse play out in about half a minute.”

Chirag
Upreti caught Regulus, too. He wrote: “During totality, the sun’s
gorgeous
corona was visible with the unaided eye, and below that lay Regulus the heart of Leo.
The two-and-a-half-minute show was spectacular, magical in every aspect.”
