WOW so cool! We are still to the moon seeing the Total Solar Eclipse. We drove 9 hours from New Mexico to a wonderful little town called Clifton and had 4 mins. 19 secs. of totality. We had two of our professional drones up and got incredible panorama shots that showed the twinkling of lights come on, the blank of the sky, the ribbon on light on the horizon, the sun with the moon covering the disk and the corona blasting through, Venus and Jupiter and the stars popping out in the clear sky in the afternoon. We were the only folks there in a city park. It could not have been better!

Great except it might be more realistic without the music and replaced by radio emissions from it ?
