Very nice Missourian....
I had planned to do the same thing. I am 90 miles North of KC. We had solid cloud cover so I didn't even launch. My Nephew lives at Lathrop Missouri which was right in the path. He was clouded in too....
It didn't get dark enough here for the security light to come on and only lasted a few minutes from start to finish. My farm dog didn't like it. He followed me around and kept looking at me like something was wrong.
Cool!!!! So you were one of those autos clogging up I-35 Southbound early that morning??
Cameron is about 40 miles South of me.
Glad it worked out for you. I think there were hundreds, if not thousands of people that made the trip and saw nothing.
Thanks again for posting the video!!!! Nice work!!!!
Very nice!! Did you lock the exposure while it was still light to capture how dark it really got? My autoexposure compensated for the dark and it didn't look as dark in my video as it really got. Didn't even think about that in the rush to get everything set up...
Thanks. I kept the camera on auto the whole time and didn't lock anything. When some people around me started saying "it's in totality" I just glanced up at it for a few seconds...just a big black hole in front of the sun perfectly covering it...pretty cool...something I will never see again in my lifetime.
