ABOVE: Setting up (left) and photographing the annular eclipse of May 10, 1994 near El Paso, TX. Your escort for the '98 eclipse, Gary A. Becker, is a vetern of six central solar eclipses. About 12 hours later, an intense storm dropped nearly one foot of hail near here. Yes, we were lucky. Hundreds of annular eclipses are being made by tiny "pinholes" created by the leaves of a tree. Photography is courtesy of Adam R. Jones.

BELOW: A young Mike Stump of Allentown, PA (now a freshman astronomy major at Villanova University) safely views a telescopically projected image of the eclipsed sun, while solar images like the one on the right, were recorded by Becker using the equipment seen in the first two photos.
