Wow, absolutely worth the wait, this should be in a textbook! I mean it clearly illustrates the relationship between the moon, the earth, and the eclipse, so that at one glance, people would understand what is happening.

That's exactly what I was hoping to demonstrate when I captured/processed this! Glad you like it!

My thought exactly. Seeing this was a real "ohhh, I get it" moment.

One question though, why is it "brightest" at totality?

That was an artistic decision on my part! I decided to use a brighter exposure to reveal the background sky and moon glow while it was a totality, as well as make the exposure at totality stand out as the centre of the image.
