The moon was below the horizon during totality in Bergen. Also, the sun was still up before end of totality. Sunset was at 23:07 local time and end of totality was at 23:03. Therefore only the partial phase at the end of the eclipse was visible.

The composite picture is taken from Fanafjell, Bergen and spans a time interval of 21 minutes from 23:25 till 23:46 local time.
