    What percentage was the eclipse? It probably got dim, but human eyes are very good at filtering out wide range of intensity changes to handle both full sun and cloudy sky. You really only notice an eclipse maybe at 80-90 %. But it isn’t that special even at 99 %. On the other hand, total eclipse is absolutely incredible.

      I think it was 75% here? I’d have to look it up, but that’s about what it looked like.

      I tried taking a few pics, but I had taken the wrong bag, so that was a bust. My phone actually took the best shot, and it was washed out

        For partial eclipses, very cool is watching the light underneath trees. The small holes between leaves work a bit like camera obscura, so they effectively project crescents of the sun on the ground.
