Saw the eclipse. It was a unique experience, but I’m not the one who brought a nice camera, or a telephoto lens for their iPhone. A friend did. It was dicey, with clouds in every direction, and the sun not always visible through the cloud layer, but a hole opened up about 15 minutes before totality, and it all looked good through and beyond.
