1998 Curac̀§ao (17mm Lens).jpg
February 26, 1998, from North Point of Curaçao, in the Caribbean north of Venezuela (latitude of +12° N)
17mm f/5.6 wide-angle lens
Ektachrome 100SW slide film
about a 2 second exposure
Mercury is above the Sun. Jupiter below, and Venus far down the sky above the horizon (don't spot them out!)
Black Hole mask added over Sun to provide dark lunar disk otherwise washed out by irradiation and overexposure of solar corona -- records scene more the way the eye saw it.
Streaks on horizon are fireworks from an off-shore cruise ship.
