Success! Most everyone who traveled to the path of totality witnessed the eclipse, although some high clouds diminished the view. Total Eclipses are so short in duration it is difficult to capture what we experience visually, due to the wider dynamic range of our eyes. Visually, the corona was much wider than these images show, and the prominences were more prominent! These images were captured by David Gore courtesy of Bob Krueger while in Evansville, IN.
From Bill B in Indiana:
This image is from a Hydrogen-alpha filtered telescope, the large prominence is about 3 earth diameters in size.
