Meanwhile, ... The photos from the Caribbean total eclipse were taken February 26, 1998. The total solar eclipse lasted 3 minutes 45 seconds, but seemed much shorter. Local time ( about 30 miles east of Curacao) was 2:13 pm.

		The camera used was a Sony Mavica digital still camera. Venus was visible but far from the sun.
		Closer were Mercury and Jupiter, visible in the second shot.
The trip also included a visit to the Arecibo radio telescope, which is much more impressive than pictures ever can indicate.
