February 26, 1979 total solar eclipse Questar 3.5-inch f/16 Maksutov-Cassegrain Kodachrome 64 film 1/250th second exposure at second contact Tracked at sidereal rate. Taken from site on Highway 1, near Carberry, Manitoba between Brandon and Winnipeg. Image is slightly soft from mis-focus (likely caused by temperature shift after initial focusing). A black hole mask was added in Photoshop over the Moon's disk to darken lunar disk separate from sky, which was made slightly blue for contrast.
