Has anyone ever tried to image or capture a time lapse of a subdued evening or morning twilight due to a solar eclipse?  On 3/31, we have a morning eclipse on the eastern coast, and from Chicagoland,  nothing is visible as it's over when the sun rises.  I suspect, however,  that if there was an attempt to image the morning twilight, it would be possible to see a time-lapse that could reveal the eclipse indirectly.

 

From here in Chicagoland, the sun will be about 75% eclipsed and 14 degrees below the horizon.  Other longitudes will have variations on these specs.  I hope someone here can try to detect that the eclipse is happening while the sun is below the horizon in this way.
