Weekly Challenge 51: Capture an Eclipse

Total Kerbolar eclipses happen on Kerbin every day, but have you seen one anywhere else? 

Your mission is to go capture some eclipses from around the Kerbolar system!
The occluding body and vantage point are up to you, and the eclipse can be total or partial.

I know the following screenshots are KSP1, but didn't want to miss out hehe...

FIRST!? WHAT!?

 

Here are a few photos of a kerbolar eclipse from a contract sattelite that required mun orbit. No mods other than engine waterfall.

Eclipse about to start. Must be one of my, if not my fav screenshot

Half-kerbol covered, with the surface visible. Sattelite already in shade.

Ditto, but no UI

At this point, kerbol is pretty much no longer visible other than its atmosphere

And it's gone!

How about a couple of Sunspots captured at 20x optical zoom?

And slow-mo footage into totality (but with filter on telescope, sadly does not show the corona we saw)

Also, sorry for the jittering; fairly cheap telescope and it was quite breezy

Here's my picture of an eclipse

As you can see, the sunlight is totally not eclipsed by Jool (which is right in the middle of the picture).

I'd send a picture from orbit but you probably know how it doesn't look like.
