The Stars Visible over Munich During the Eclipse

During totality, a number of bright planets and stars were visible. Venus (m=Ð3.5) was the most conspicuous planet located 15° east of the Sun. Mercury (m=+0.7) should also have been visible 18° west of the Sun. The southwestern sky was dominated by the bright stars of winter, including Capella (m=+0.08), Albebaran (m=+0.85v), Procyon (+0.38), Betelgeuse (+0.5v), and Sirius (m=-1.46). Other bright stars which may also have been visible included Spica (m=+1.0v), Arcturus (m=-0.04), and Regulus (m=+1.35).

Apparently, but I was too gobsmacked to notice!!
