WOW! That's a fantastic photo!! Nice work.
I unfortunately forgot my binoculars, so I didn't get to see any details in the corona. I was hoping to see a prominence.
Question: (I know I can find the answer to this by searching, but I want to ask a fellow human being...) can you actually see the prominences moving? I realize they are huge structures (Earth scale & bigger), so maybe not?

Also, I was intrigued by shadow edges becoming peculiarly sharp as the moon covered almost the whole disc of the sun. Makes sense, as we go from "floodlight" to "spotlight" light source.

And we even got cows running along a fenceline because they thought it was time to be home for milking.

I definitely heard the birds break into their evening chorus where we were.
Sad that the next total eclipse in North America is ~20 years away... and on the other side of the continent.
