I traveled to Carbondale,IL to observe the eclipse, I used the Seestar in time laps and used my STC with a solar filter and a 32mm eyepiece. The solar flares were what really captivated me. What was so great is the Seestar is I was able to set and forget the Seestar and spend my time with direct observation. What a perfect experience.
I was going to Fredericksburg...but I changed plans and went to Heber Springs Arkansas...perfect sky...the SeeStar nailed it...got some amazing shots. : )
We flew from Atlanta to Houston on Sunday and drove over to Round Rock near Austin. We thought it was going to be a bust but 5 minutes before totality the entire sky cleared enough that we could see the eclipse. It as truly amazing!! I also brought my SeeStar and got some great images of the eclipse. We flew back home Monday night. We thought traffic would be bad but it was normal.
The night before the Delaware forcast kept switching between mostly, some, clouds and sun. In the morning of eclipse day, we had a few clouds but not too bad. I was hoping. One hour before it started and through the entire event the clouds disappeared, and the sky stayed perfectly blue. Zero clouds for almost 4 hours. Around 5PM the clouds finally rolled in. Perfect day.
It rained pretty hard the day before, actually most last week it rained. Monday’s forecast was partly cloudy. It turned out to be a perfect day. A few high thin clouds, but nothing of consequence. 😁 The next day, back to cloud cover and rain. 🤷♂️
Mostly sunny in my location, only around 69% eclipse here. I think the Seestar caught it all. One time, I noticed just an orange glow. I swiped my finger across my phone and the sun was back in focus and centered. I set mine for 60 second intervals. I was fortunate enough to see the 2017 eclipse so I didn’t feel the need to chance traveling for this one.
Here in Austin, I managed to get some video on my SeeStar of the pre and post partial eclipse periods, but near totality I lost tracking. So, I could only take pictures with my iPhone. I did get a couple of pictures that included a tiny total eclipse through the clouds, but that was about it.

I’m glad you got to see totality at Round Rock! That’s amazing Athens! 🎉
You did an awesome job ! To get some of it is better than none at all❤
Thank you Arthur!

Happy to send you my Seestar time-lapse from Houlton Maine - curious what you can do in post with it
Would love to see it! Feel free to send it to my Instagram, you can DM it to me 😃

I posted pics on the SeeStar community page. 😊

It was rough for many to get good shots! I’m glad you got some pics on your phone though 👏🏼
