See what it is like to experience a total solar eclipse! The Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017 traversed the continental United States from Oregon to South Carolina. I traveled to Clarksville TN to witness the eclipse; this is the video sharing that journey and me capturing the eclipse itself and those witnessing it with me. I used a telescope with a cell phone attached to capture close up video, a DSLR camera to capture close up still frames, and a camcorder to capture the event as if YOU were there.
