View from the last state to see it!
Approximately 14:00 - 14:43, Monday, August 21, 2017 in Columbia, SC.
(The watermark is yearoftheaxolotl, my blog title. It got posted there first, so yeah. Deal with it!)
Around 2:20pm. This view was achieved by holding my eclipse glasses in front of my camera lens.
Lens flares showed the inverted shape of the eclipse. The moon was moving right to left, but as you can see the flares are pointed the other way. Neat fact - the sun spilling between the leaves also looked like this.
Totality was achieved at 2:41pm and lasted for approximately 2.5 minutes. It wasn't midnight levels of dark, more like dusk just before sunset, but the stars came out and people set off fireworks.
It was great!
