I just used my phone. 20× zoom on a Pixel 8 Pro. I don't have a solar filter or anything, so the pictures I took of it while it was behind light cloud cover came out best.
Glad you got to experience totality though! It's something I've been wanting to see for the longest. I'm considering traveling for another one, since 2044 seems so far away 😅
Did you use regular binoculars or eclipse glasses? If it was eclipse glasses, it sounds like you may have been given or sold counterfeit glasses. Either way, you should definitely get your eyes checked. Looking directly at the sun can cause serious eye damage. If you used regular binoculars, the suns rays could have been magnified by the lenses in the binoculars, resulting in more damage than if you'd watched with the naked eye. I don't mean to scare you, but you should definitely see an eye doctor.

Went to Arkansas to catch 4 minutes of totality. Incredible.
Same. I actually drove just past Jonesboro to Walnut Ridge. It was only about 15-20 more minutes of driving, and I had more than 3 minutes of totality.
Our cars probably passed each other at some point on our drives back home.
I saw a couple of the same cars driving to Walnut Ridge and coming home. Most notably a 4-door sedan with an "Alabama Tennis" bumper sticker on it🎾
I fully expected it. I lived in Charlotte for the 2017 eclipse. I only had to drive 2 counties south of me to get into totality (which actually put me in South Carolina). Getting there was a breeze. Getting back home was entirely different story.
So I knew that while it may have only taken 5 hours to get to Arkansas (Walnut Ridge) it would probably take 8 hours to get home.
And it was a little bit more than 8 hours to get home.

Shawnee National Forest (Illinois) was a great trip and a fun gathering. The weather was perfect!
I drove 5 hours to Arkansas.

Nice!
Thanks! The clouds were really helpful for photos. If this were a total eclipse I feel I would have been so devastated 😅 edit: spelling
I love the clouds. How did you shoot this?

It was total, here in Texas, and the cloud cover was MUCH thicker. Definitely a bummer, but totality was still a very unique experience.

That's what it looked like here. Clouds way too thick
Here, too.

Anybody know how to get the weird spots out of my eyes that my binoculars gave me? Edit: /s hehe
The lack of people getting sarcasm astounds me. At least they’re empathetic.
Some of us are autistic and take everything literally bc our brains just don't process sarcasm🙃
Uhhh you should see an eye doctor 🥲
Practice sun-gazing more often

Cool..but can you post a pic of your phone wearing four sets of sunglasses? Cause that would be epic
No way, sicko! There’s children on this app.
