Visually, I could not. Although I could 'see' it simulated in Starry Night software. Heh..

hehe, i saw it through my 1/500 secs shots. I was a quite discouraged in the beginning.

btw i made an animation of the eclipse event, but after applying some harsh image processing on each frames, i found out that i captured something else!

WOW!! What class of starship is that!! It's so big that it even cast such a big shadow on the Moon!!! Must be newly built by the Federation to show the Galactic Empire that they can also built something as big as the Death Star!!! Ha ha ha ha

Have a nice day.
