It was amazing! Clouds cleared right before the totality. (Though in Novosibirsk the sky was all clear.) Me and my family were in Altai. That’s the video I shot, which I posted on ireport right away (I also posted it on YouTube below).

Those who have not seen FULL eclipses (like myself until August 1st this year) do get a real kick out of it that you can hear as background “noise”. (You can find the same video with nice calm music on YouTube too!)

Check out in this video how quickly it became dark!
