Used the pinhole in a plastic rod cap to track the partial eclipse we got.

94 percent wasn't any big deal.

Leica solar filter on a TS06, diagonal eyepiece with iPhone 7. This was at our +/- 70% totality at 2:44EST

Here is what the eclipse looks like through my beer.

On the roof of Mexiville in Chattanooga

From my phone

The birds thought it was night time. I don't know what they are but they only come out at dusk eating bugs.

Used a defunct Set2 and a clipboard. Took off for 2 hrs to watch it with Mrs. File and Adopted File. Didn't spend much time with it after the Maximum.

Fwiw, the Set 2 is the one I bought from Deral Paulk during the benefit auction to raise money for his co-worker Micheal's medical treatment. The zenith angle board was out and unrepairable. I use it as a sporting scope at the range and other misc. stuff. Like eclipses....
