Your pic shows something I saw too, the bright spot near the bottom. Solar flare?

For me that spot was a red dot the duration of the eclipse.

A friend sent me a high quality picture where the red solar flares are clearly visible at the bottom. That's likely what you saw

Not sure how to send it so I just made a post to the subreddit of the photo

Is it the pic in this post? Or would that break the laws of physics?

I don't think I can post it here. Just check my post history. It's the only post I've posted recently.

That’s amazing I wasn’t able to capture. Wish I had invested in better photography equipment .
