The Eclipse Was Amazing: My Views

 I couldn't get very good pictures with my phone.  I could see the eclipse great through my monocular, which was really cool.  At its height only a drop of light was peaking through; but I could see the shadow of the moon with the monocular.  It was quite the show.  I tried to zoom in with my camera, but there was not enough light so it got grainy.  The eclipse was at its peak at about 2 a.m. and lasted for almost an hour before is started to come back.  This was early in the morning 11/19/2021.  This is the view I recorded.
