This photo was used by Fred Espenak in his book "TOTALITY" - The Great North American Eclipse of 2024, Oxford University Press. It is located on page 215; the image was turned 90 degrees counterclockwise to the original shown here. It was copied directly from my website, which intentionally set to a lower resolution so individuals will not copy and sell my image without my permission. Although I filled out a form to give Fred permission, I offered to send him a higher resolution image but never was contacted about doing so. The only way the book shows the details somewhat similar to the image displayed on this page is to use a bright flashlight to illuminate the [picture sufficiently so it shows the details it needs to.

I never heard back from Fred until I received a free copy of the book on February 12, 2024 as payment for its use. It would have been nice if he used my name as it is captioned here with the middle initial.
