HelloWeixing,

wow, everyone saw the eclipse.. i'm outfield that day working like mad and no time to look up at all.. Okay i had a small glimpse around 2am, i saw a minor part of the moon eclipsed, but i didn't get to view the whole process :(

Good job for those who actually took such nice pictures to show those who couldn't see the eclipse for themselves! Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
I can't see the picture you attached. I'm the only one who can't see that pic? I don't know what happen. I tried with both Firefox Mozilla and IE. Still can't see.

As you can see, adjusting the brighness is not easy as the craters not in the penumbra will be overexposed...
