Location slightly south of the maximum line off Hwy 67, Just north of Hwy 60 in SE Missouri. Travel distance was 425 miles, one way. We drove through the Mark Twain National Forrest on the way down from Iowa, so that was a bonus.
View of the solar corona taken with a Cannon Rebel T6 and 75-300mm zoom lens at maximum (no special filter needed at totality).
This protective lens fit nicely behind my regular glasses. It worked a lot better for me than the cardboard-framed disposable solar viewing glasses. It is made in the US.
Since the next North American total eclipse is expected in 2044, we thought we would make the effort this time. It was a chance to witness the magnificence and precise balance and order God created for our benefit!
