Total Solar Eclipse, August 21 2017


My brother and I traveled twelve plus hours from Livermore, CA to very near the center of the path of totality in Smiths Ferry, Idaho. It was worth the long drive.

What an incredible experience! 

I used a Cannon Elura 100 Digital Video Camcorder with Solar Filter.  Solar Filter was removed during totality.
