Kid down the street has an Eclipse. Mitsubishi, as I recall???
Made a day road trip out of St. Louis to catch the eclipse, went to Popular Bluff, MO. Had Dexter BBQ.....I make excuses to hit Dexter's any time I'm going the least bit south or west. After eating, drove just northwest to Hwy 60/410 to be directly under the event. Fun time. Liked the BBQ best. Traffic was unreal on I-55 down to Hwy67 going down. Once on 67 traffic was heavier than normal, but flew along at 75-80 in the 60 zone. Going home that afternoon, traffic was stop'n'go all the way up 67 and mostly stop'n'creep I-55 north. Only saw one impatient *******.
I found a totaled Eclipse
Damn fine capture!
Here are two of my better ones.
The skinny filament structure of the prominence on the left side of the first image is probably over 10 times wider than Earth…
I took my kids to BFE Arkansas to see it. I’ve been planning this trip some long before my divorce, so it was really important that I was able to share it with them. The 2017 eclipse left a hell of an impression on me. Also took my folks with us. Neither had seen a total eclipse before and they were incredibly awestruck just like the rest of us.
I’ve had a lot of personal setbacks this past year, including coming to within a kitten’s whisker of dying. My personal mission to see this eclipse with my kids was positively Griswoldian.
I’m so happy I made it out there with my family.
And for those of you interested in the technical particulars, are used to full spectrum-converted Canon 6D with an EF 500 mm F4.5 USM lens—1/640th at f/13 and ISO 125. I’d intended to use a 2x teleconverter too, but I forgot it in the haste of setting up my two cameras plus my kids’ cameras.
