I'm curious how many of you saw shadow bands. They were very distinct where we were at before C2 and after C4, but I heard of others in the area that didn't see them at all, even on white sheets laid out.

I'm thrilled with how well the photos came out. Feedback is very welcome.
I used an 8" Newtonian telescope with a Canon T2i DSLR at prime focus and a Canon T5 with a 250mm IS telephoto lens. Both an an equatorial mount.
Exposures were controlled and fully automated via Solar Eclipse Maestro - this is some amazing software. All I had to do was adjust the mount pointing occasionally to keep things centered and remove/replace the filters when prompted - it did all the work for both cameras capturing 326 photos with the correct ISO, exposure time, and mirror lock up settings.
It was an incredible experience! I'm making plans for 2024 already.
