Today's solar eclipse was just incredible IF you had solar glasses on and the weather cooperated. It was great even if you didn't live in or travel to the 70-mile path of totality, which in Oregon was in the Corvallis-Salem-Madras-Redmond areas as well as that stretch on the coast. However, some people around here in Medford whined that they didn't see it getting totally dark--it looked like a sunset here at 93-percent totality--and complained about the smoke, but they wouldn't have complained had they bothered to get the solar glasses.
I doubt I have any pictures to share. I did not get a solar filter for my SLR as I had intended to, and they were sold out a couple of weeks ago everywhere on the internet. Perhaps I will get around to doing it for 2024, the next total eclipse in the U.S. though it will start in Texas and wind its way to the Northeast. I will likely get it anyway in order to photograph sunrises and sunsets.
Some reports can be found at "ground zero" of 100-percent totality, Salem.
