    Where did this picture come from? Cleveland had slight clouds so the corona was small like this, so I’m leaning Cleveland. But the eclipse traveled all over Ohio so it could be anywhere.

    There was a tiny red dot, I think it was Mars? Did anyone get a good picture of it?

        Mars is my first thought due to the reddish hue.

        But word around my Hotel was that it was Mercury, since it was so close to the sun.

        EDIT: Sounds like the red dots were “Baily’s Beads”, a phenomenon where the sun’s lights get warped by bouncing around the moon’s valleys and mountains before coming back out in a random direction.
