I got up extra early on the morning of April 8th and drove up to the
Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station, at 9,100 feet above sea level.
In Hawai'i, we weren't expecting to see much, both because of bad
weather, and because we were so far from the centerline of the eclipse
that the maximum occlusion would only be twenty-something percent.
The clouds were indeed terrible; the weather was, of course, much
better at the summit, but I was stuck with my sedan instead of my
truck, so I didn't have the option of going to the summit. Still,
I managed to get a couple shots were you can at least discern that
an eclipse was in progress, and make out a couple of sunspots. Here
they are for your amusement.
