Eleven images capture various phases of the eclipse from start to finish. The eight partial phases were shot using a solar filter while the start, middle and end of totality were photographed with the filter removed. The central image of the corona during totality is a composite of 22 separate negatives which reveal subtle details and structures in the Sun's atmosphere.
