    It’s likely you got the cool pic because of the clouds. I got a good pic of a partial eclipse in 2017 because of the clouds. When clouds were in the way, I could get a good pic. Without the clouds it was garbage.

    This year I saw totality with clear skies and couldn’t get a good pic of partial or total using the same camera.

      Huh, I couldn’t see it unless the clouds moved out of the way. It got really dark during totality, dark enough that my camera’s shutter speed was fairly low (it was around 1/125s with an iso of 50).
