Begin monitoring for end of total eclipse
The year long total eclipse continues until spring - this is your last few months to see epsilon fainter than its neighbors in the Goats asterism. Although the star is expected to sit near 3.8 visual mag, VARIATIONS DURING TOTALITY are anticipated and continued careful observing is requested - especially as we approach egress in spring.
