Some Solar eclipse results. Did you properly use a ND Solar filter for the partialities and remove for the totality?

An edit out of my shots of the total solar eclipse, here in Grapevine , Texas, USA. I had to dodge the cloud cover all the time, but had a few breaks where the eclipse came through the clouds and haze. 1:40pm CDT for the totality. First the totality with the Solar Prominences , then Second as the sun re- emerges though the cloud cover and you can also see Solar Prominences erupting from the sun's surface.
Sony A1 camera, Sony 200-600mm lens, 600mm, f8, ISO 100, bracketed shutter speeds, AF, center area, on a Sirui tripod. I did use a K&F ND100000 Solar filter for the partialities, but removed it for these totality shots.

Solar Prominences are a bit different than Solar Flares, but solar prominences can become solar flares if they totally break free of the sun's surface.
Here an explanation of the difference:

I didn't use a solar filter, I used a .6ND+.9ND+1.2ND+CP which worked well. It was an experiment.
We only got to 90%.

Nice work. I watched the eclipse from Lincoln ME but did not try to photograph it. I did notice a red spot near the bottom at the start of totality, and your image shows the details of what no doubt is a similar flare that my eyes just saw as an uncomfortably bright red spot.
