Would anybody have data about the eclipse of August 21, 2017?

First, some graphs from this one:

The dip is an hour wide.  I included 2 more hours each side.
The other lines are 2 days after and the previous 2 working days.

Here is the whole day:

Here is 2017:

The vertical position of each day is arbitrary.  I pushed things around to
make the vertical scales match.

Wikipedia said the shadow of 2017 eclipse hit the Oregon coast at 4PM UTC.
That happened to be the left edge of the 2024 graph so I used the same time
range.  I see a small dip at 19 hours.  And maybe something at 17 hours.

Looking at the data from the Fluke VR1710, I see nothing unusual during the eclipse in Huntsville, AL.  That said, it was only about 90% here, so nothing unusual is probably to be expected?

If anyone cares, I can probably make the raw data available?

thanks much and 73,
