Known as "The Big One", this was the longest duration total eclipse for nearly 900 years!  Although  the eclipse of 2009 will come close.  There was 8/10ths cloud cover until 1 hour before the eclipse, the skies cleared just in time and our view was spectacular!
Photographed at San José del Cabo, BCS, Mexico - 11 July 1991.
