There were a number of total solar eclipses from 40 to 50 years ago that were viewed … These included the total eclipses in 1973 (Africa; off Mauritania), 1972 (Cap Chat), 1970 (Florida; clouded out) and 1963 (Maine). The old film photos (not digital unfortunately) from these eclipse trips that have been scanned and digitized so far are posted in this gallery. Many were originally old Kodachrome color slides for those who are old enough to remember that film choice.
Some of the 1973, 1972, 1970 and 1963 eclipse expedition photos are presented here for your enjoyment. More old film photos will be added as they are scanned, digitized and uploaded!
