I am working on improving this page. Please let me know if there is anything you'd like me to add or maintain. AstroDoc (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:12, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am almost done with my work on this page. I will probably put my new version up in a few days. I should also mention that according to WP:COI I should mention that I met Derrick Pitts on a solar eclipse cruise in 1999. We have had no contact since then.

I have rewritten the page. I really wanted to include a photograph but could find one that was available. e.g. in Wikimedia Commons AstroDoc (talk) 18:21, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
