Dennis, great to see your image at SpaceWeather homepage - it's very photogenic!  Smiley
and a very nice report at your website!
P.S. You've probably confused UT with local time (vice versa) in the beginning of report.

I've seen the complete eclipse on clear skies with magnitude 79.6%, obscuration 72% - just as similar as yours. Check back to my blog in a day or two, since I'll get the report uploaded.

Great report on your site Dennis. The wide angle shot at 9:14 with the two tips of the Sun looking like twin stars is really a beautiful shot, and how lucky, or extremely talanted at catching the jet flying across the Sun's disc! Good job!

Stunning report and images Dennis, very impressive indeed. I agree with Richard on the image with the two horns which is very unusual. My favourite image for scale, eclipse shape ,and cloud structure is this one...
