摘要
Photoelectric observations of the sky brightness along Sun's meridian have been carried out at Salloum during the March 29, 2006 total solar eclipse. The measurements have been taken at different zenith distances along the Sun's meridian using yellow and red wide band glass filters centered at 5500 angstrom and 7900 angstrom, respectively. The present results of the sky brightness during the total solar eclipse have been compared with that of twilight, and night sky obtained by the same instrument at Abu-Simbel and Kottamia observatory sites respectively. The variation of V-R color index with zenith distance have been also studied. The visibility of planets and stars during the March 29, 2006 total solar eclipse is given. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
