Image Details:

After a week of pessimistic weather forecasts and an overcast morning, we had a decent first partial phase with occasional clouds spoiling the show but by the time totality arrived we had a pretty clear view and totality was absolutely spectacular! Seeing the Sun's corona was awesome but the surprise was being able to see some of the HUGE solar prominences with the unaided eye, clearly visible in this Diamond Ring effect image.
