    Does anyone else have any pictures of in game eclipses? I'd really be interested to see them. Here you can see the ringed planet passing before Novia's Sun.[​IMG]

    *poof* who? what? where? Oh.. *ehem*

    I agree a total eclipse would be cool but unfortunately Daedelus isn't big enough (or close enough?) for that. Eclipses of all the moons happen regularly as all of the moons are on the same path as the sun.

    For anyone interested, you'll find the desert skies to be the most friendly to viewing the sky, especially at night. None of that sky suddenly turning cloudy at the stroke of midnight business! Even better yet, go while wearing an astrolabe. ;)

    i'll second the desert and point out that it is technically possible to climb the epitaph.

    Here are a couple eclipses that i saw in the last 3 years in SOTA.
    As @Bowen Bloodgood said, a total eclipse appears to be impossible. An annular eclipse seems to be as close as SOTA can get to a total eclipse, see below:

    Seriously! It really should! Was tempted to bring it up but you beat me to it. :) Especially with Daedelus, light levels should drop at least to about Dawn/Dusk levels.

    Several of these happen at least twice a day (that's a real Earth day mind you) with at least one every two hours. Keep your eyes on the skies, you'll start seeing them soon enough. :)

    Might be interesting to see a Best Eclipse contest. :) Best screenshot that must include an eclipse. (or something along those lines).. or maybe "best alignment" or "best sky"

    This one is my favorite, because it looks like Dr. Evil's time machine... baby.
