The most rare, top-tier eclipse photo would be the Solar Earth Eclipse, but the Apollo 12 crew’s attempt to capture it was marred by camera shake. They said it looked spectacular, though.

I went up to the Lake Champlain area where there was some high altitude cloud cover. Fortunately, it didn’t affect the viewing basically at all. A cool side effect of the clouds/related atmospheric conditions though was that the sun had a 22° halo. I wish that 1) I’d had a camera that could capture it and that 2) I’d had the presence of mind to pay attention to what happened to it in the moments before and after totality.
I was watching, hoping to see the shadow on the ground. It was too fast to see but I did notice the sky going dark before totality and then lighting up before it ended.
