Central Georgians share their eclipse photos from home and on the road

While we weren't in the path of totality, many people in Central Georgia got involved in the Great American Eclipse on Monday. Take a look at some of your photos.

MACON, Ga. — Central Georgia got a bit of the Great American Eclipse Monday afternoon. 

While Georgia was not in the path of totality — where the moon fully covers the sun — we did see some of the sun obscured by the moon on Monday afternoon.

Here's what the eclipse looks like from the path of totality.

Some Central Georgians, including Kate Ellington, traveled to see the total solar eclipse themselves. They shared this photo from Butler University in Indiana with us on our Facebook page. She said the experience was "AMAZING."

But many revelers in Central Georgia got their part of the partial eclipse that swept through our region, and we've been seeing your photos streaming in. 

Out in Cochran, Anthony Barlow was watching the solar eclipse through a telescope using a solar filter. He posted these snaps of the solar eclipse's transformation in the 13WMAZ Weather Network Facebook group.

He likened it to starting "with an orange and ended with a banana."

Les Coley shared this photo of the eclipse from Jones County in the 13WMAZ Weather Network, too.
