Hundreds of miles away from Palomar College, Scott Kardel and Mark Lane spent the first day of the fall semester looking up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with others from Palomar, Kardel and Lane traveled north last week and situated themselves in the path of totality, primed for the so-called \u201cGreat American Eclipse\u201d with cameras and telescopes and years of anticipation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two Palomar professors were on private land in eastern Idaho, beside a wheat field and a river, removed from \u201cthe roads, traffic, noise, that kind of thing,\u201d Kardel recalled. \u201cWe had perfect weather, we had a great location, and we were with really good, professional people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing totality was seriously unlike anything I\u2019ve ever seen in my life, and far more amazing than I was expecting,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following are some of the images captured by Kardel and Lane, as well as a Q&A with Kardel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
