The moon went in front of the sun

There were some clouds, but I managed to catch a usable photo or two

Viewing the eclipse during totality is safe without eye protection.

Can't even see anything in totality with the solar filters.

Though it was still too bright for my phone's camera to capture anything other than a bright ball.

It's hard to use any kind of auto exposure for something like that. Only spot highlight metering has much chance, but most photographers would use manual.

There are manual options for phones, but most phones don't have a long enough telephoto lens option to get good eclipse photos.

Yeah, I suspected I could fiddle with some settings to get a better result but didn't want to spend the few minutes I had fucking around on my phone instead of experiencing the moment.
