Details:
The Zodiacal Light was very bright this morning as I was shooting the comets.
I don't know that it was related to the eclipse but the Zodiacal Light this morning was very bright and seemed to start showing earlier than normal. This shot was a tracked super wide angle at the peak of the eclipse.
One of my thoughts was that the darkening of the sun ahead of twilight would have dimmed the twilight significantly and allowed the Zodiacal Light to continue to brighten where it would have been washed out by the twilight otherwise.
