Stages of the Eclipse

The Sky at Totality

Total Solar Eclipse 2/26/98

The Sky at Totality
This diagram shows how the sky looked during totality.  Mercury and Jupiter, being so close to the sun, were an awesome sight!  Venus shown brightly closer to the horizon.  I missed Mars, Saturn and all the bright stars because of the camera work at hand and lure of the eclipsed sun.
