Very cool! I think in this case it's called "annularity" and not "totality"

Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing and glad the weather cooperated.

I'm looking forward to the one in April, going to set aside some time to see it.

That's a great shot, I wasn't even aware it was happening today. Where was this located?
