Likewise, the sun is so bright that we never see its corona at daytime, but when its main body is blocked by the moon, we can suddenly see the corona around it. Note: I'm a dork, and wanted to use names like "Sol" and terms like "luminance." Oh, I need a life.

The problem with this being a star is the path of the moon and the light next to it. The object is overtaking the moon heading up in the pictures. The Moon is also heading up in the pictures. As you can see the in the second picture it is higher in relation to the moon than in the first picture.

Though it just dawned on me, I didn't reference it to the other stars around to see if it was stable when compared to the other stars out there. I'm sure it was nothing, it just surprised me and I didn't notice it until after I was looking through them after getting home.

Thanks for the compliments all. For those who missed it. The eclipse happened from about 6pm to 7pm EST. After that it started to clear the shadow of the Earth and was an unhindered view of the full moon at about 9pm.
