Totality from Rexburg!
Try using the Nightcap IOS app. Very useful for eclipses.

Here are some pictures: (you can spot Mercury in the lower left of the first image)

The 'star' is about 1.5 degrees from the sun (estimating from your image). On a star chart, Mercury is roughly 6 degrees from the Sun (eyeballing it). It might be one of the stars in Leo. http://skymaponline.net/default.aspx
Here's a shot of the deep twilight in midday in Rexburg

My shots ended up too over-exposed to capture that. Nice job!If you are really into the tech stuff, there are a few programs that will run your camera automatically during eclipses. I used Solar Eclipse Maestro on my Macbook and can give it a big thumbs-up. For Windows, there's Eclipse Orchestrator. I was using a telescope on a tracking equatorial mount, so had to do some minor corrections for poor polar alignment every 10 minutes or so, and make sure the focus was good. But the software was in charge during totality, all 35 frames with varying exposures came out perfectly.The software used ephemerides and a lunar shape model to time everything to 0.1 second or so. I had to tell it my location (thank you, GPS!). It even predicts Bailey's Beads using the shape model, and darned if my pictures don't look identical to the predictions. It's a truly impressive piece of work, and I hope it's updated for 2024.
