Agree. Was surprised how well the phone pulled the colour out.

Can’t find my DSLR unfortunately otherwise it’d be on the tripod.

Had to wake the 6 year old for him to see this, once in a life time type of thing

If I understand correctly, I think there's a decent chance to have something similar at any given solar maximum (about every 11 years)

But it's definitely not a sure thing, and this could very well be the biggest one for decades to come.
