  1. I am also surprised at the different outcomes. But I did not take into account the upper atmosphere turbulence. I was thinking the only factor was the movement of the moon across the disk of the sun. But different movements of the shadow bands adds new evidence to there being more to it than I thought. Sure seems like the factor of upper atmosphere turbulence is a good explanation. I guess this means we will not be able to make accurate predictions about the direction of shadow band movement for future eclipses. But we can enjoy collecting the results. The 2017 eclipse was my first TSE. I experienced an annular eclipse that came close to my home back in 1984, but no shadow bands of course. With your help, I’ll be better prepared next time. Thanks again for all your efforts.
