Just before the end of totality, the thin clouds broke up and I was blessed with the starlit skies changing from winter to springr.
This image has been expanded to the Cartesian coordinate from a shot taken with a whole-sky fish-eye photo lens in a span of about 270 degrees around the south direction. You can recognize the Orion sinking to the southwest sky, and at the east of the eclipsed moon, the Leo is rising in the eastern skies.
