We happen to live in the path of totality so no travel needed. Actually even less travel than we thought. We were going to go to a parking garage at a nearby mall, but it turns out we have a pretty good view of the sun from our backyard! We also went to grab fast food as a treat and saw a bunch of people walking to the nearby park.
How about everyone else?

Any amatuer (or professional) astrophotographers capture the annular solar eclipse today?
I was only able to see ~70% coverage in my area, and was hoping to see some posts here on Tildes about the eclipse. I'd love to see anyone's work they managed to capture today.
