What if we could make an eclipse on stars that are close to us? I'm
thinking if we could block the Sun's disk we might be able to detect
the reflected light of the planets making up its solar system. Could a
coronagraph be used for close stars? Bert

Do you think that distant stars cause anything of a glare,
enough to obscure the light of orbiting planets?

And what's close? 200 LY?

Close enough for us to easily be able to go there.
200 LY is just fine.
