Nope, didn't see anything like that but there did seem to be a good deal of smoke in the air. I forgot to mention that Venus was prominent during annularity, but I didn't see it afterward, even immediately after sunset. On another note... One problem with electronic/social media is that you don't see the expression on one's face or other visual cues about the meaning of speech. I have always only been teasing about the choices that others made to observe the eclipse, and I was always smiling when I tried to joke about it. Sorry if I offended anyone - didn't mean to. Staying at Bryce was the only sensible thing for me to do and I'm glad I was here. I think Brent was trying to say the being with friends and family were the highlight of his experience, and I would certainly agree with that. I would have enjoyed being with old friends but spending time with new friends was also fine.

Now everyone keep an open mind on this. My friend and I commented before 2nd contact that it seemed liked we were seeing streaks from the sun that looked like coronal streaks. My 1st thought was this is not possible, it must be artifact from the glasses. The problem remains that the streaks looked exactly like the corona. Anyone else note this?
