    Hi Tiffany,

    The last total eclipse I saw was in 1998. I was in CuraƧao. I did not take any pictures myself - I just enjoyed watching it.

    I am attaching one below which was taken of that eclipse by Fred Espenak. I think this image is actually constructed from a number of images taken with different exposures. That way it is closer to what the human eye actually sees. It really was at least this beautiful.

    I am having some trouble attaching the picture, so here is a link:

    Cheers, Terry
