When a few of the shots that flashed on the display screen while shooting the brackets showed solar prominences on the eastern western limb (right side) of the solar disk ... well, I MAY have squealed like one of my young grand nieces. Frankly, I was glad to have anything even sort of in focus; I'd been having a helluva time trying to get a sharp image.
