Thank you all for the great discussions, relevant information and feedback.

As planned we (wife, brother in law) drove into New York State and to Plattsburg early morning. It was remarkably quiet on the roads in and out. We spent 2 hours before and 2 hours after totality on a baseball diamand and parking lot in a quite natural setting. It was wonderful with nearly cloudless conditions (whisps of high cloud part of time). It was our first eclipse and made a big impression on us. It became quite cold and windy while the light dimmed to darkness (alien space ship is coming..). We saw the dark patterns run in and disappear. We saw the planets, prominences. I brought my relatively simple camera setup (70 d, 250mm FL, 20 stop filter, tripod).? Despite very small live view screen i adjusted settings and saw/recorded the pink beads in particular at the bottom). I dont think I optimized the focus (in the excitement i touched focus while removing filter).? Some processing will likely bring out the features in more detail (later).?

I also managed to set up another tripod for my cellphone and recorded the response of my party and other video sessions throughout the event.? That was quite interesting. I also caught the birds (chickadee) singing after end of eclipse (it is a nice new day...).

Thank you all,?
