Description
2017/08/21 90% Eclipse, Wichita, KS, USA - Max Coverage, my location.
The Eclipse was very impressive. I took this from my home driveway after I got off work. Sadly, for my wife and grandkids, they drove to the 100% zone near Hiawatha, KS, but it was mostly overcast and rainy. They got only the briefest glimpse of the corona. I had a clear view of the Eclipse.
Heading back home, they got stuck in 4mph-to-stalled traffic on the way. My wife is predicting that it will take them from 1:30pm to 8:00pm to go only 240 miles [approx. 386Km] due to traffic congestion. BTW, 170miles of the 240mi. is Turnpike with a 75mph [121 kph].
I used an ISO/CE approved filter on both my eyes and the camera lens.
Thanks for viewing my gallery. Thanks for your comments. Sorry I haven't been able to make many comments lately.

Here in Northeast Georgia, we had about 95% eclipse, saw it right from our driveway too. Was partly cloudy, but mostly had a clear view. We have friends that are still stuck in traffic, at 9 pm and they only went 50 miles north of us to get a complete eclipse occur at 2:36 pm. Your picture came out good.

At 8PM, they are still stuck in traffic just south of Emporia, on the Turnpike. They have gone 4 miles in the last hour.

I've been in deadly slow traffic like that before. Hope they get back safely, Jim.
