Long-anticipated, incredible, my 4th time (one clouded out in Hawaii 1991), but never lasting long enough... I witnessed the diamond ring effect at both ends, but not really Baily's Beads (too brief), and a huge orange prominence caught my attention immediately. Venus popped out in the sky, but I never even looked for Jupiter or anything else... Too busy shooting too many pictures! (See travel notes for details of 10 images during 4:13 of totality, although I didn't save all of them.)

Note runway lights automatically turning on.
