    Yeah, it was totally cool! I went to the center of the totality band (the yellow line on the maps) in Oklahoma, chasing clear skies, which I got.

    I got to see the totality in its awesome splendor: saw the halo, the red beads, the diamond ring, and Sun?s red corona flares! Even dared to see the diamond ring for just a quick second with the naked eye. That’s perhaps the most bedazzling sight a human can ever see from this planet. Didn?t go blind, as far as I know, for now. Now, If I start mixing up the hobby girls in my reviews, I?ll know then if I went blind!

    I even saw the planets in the night sky of the totality: Venus and Jupiter quite close to the sun, and some stars! It was fucking cool!Took some amazing photos.

    This makes it the third totality in my life that I got to see.

    The Diamond ring was truly spectacular. Unlike anything I've ever seen before.

    Oh, that it was! I am still in awe of that sight! Experienced 4 minutes about 20 seconds do that totality. Super cool!

    I saw that too. Had never seen anything like it. The whole experience was amazing. The next total eclipse visible from the U.S. isn’t for another 21 years (in California). I’ll be pretty old by then, so this might be my last total eclipse. I last saw one over 30 years ago, but didn’t have the right equipment to enjoy it.

    Yup, the next one will be in 21 years! That?s crazy! Oh, btw, this one has a name now: ?The Great North American Solar Eclipse?. Apt name! Those who missed this can go to Australia in 2028, I think.
