Looks like you had a very productive eclipse session! Very nice presentation of the progression of the eclipse. I know you mentioned you desaturated the corona on purpose but for me as a viewer the intense orange of the partial phases kind of pushes them into more prominence visually than the totality. Just how I perceive things.

Congratulations on the WP. Great technique. Interesting about having to de-saturate the Corona
