Used a Canon Powershot and solar optical film. Image is normally just shades of blue-gray, but I colorized them in post.

Those are cool shots!

Thanks! The zoom on that camera is pretty amazing.

Nice photos! In the Bay Area at least, this eclipse wasn't as good as the one back in... 2017 I think? but it was still something cool to look at (safely)

Thanks! 2017 had much more sun coverage, it was more like 75-80% and I remember the loss of light was noticeable. I have some photos from that one too :)

I'd love to see those photos too!

Here you go. The large shots were taken by putting my phone camera to the eyepiece of a bird spotting scope, so there's a lot of interference on the edges and the images aren't nearly as clear. And as you can see it was cloudy that day.
