      Here in Phoenix the view was fantastic! Everyone in our apartment complex was out to watch - it almost turned into a street party. It probably helped that it started about 7:30 our time and was over by 11:00 :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net

              Ag, I wasn't expecting too much 'cause this was my first night shoot and there's lots of things to try get right. It was a nice night though :) Megan Forbes wrote: Very annoying for you when it's 6 months to wait till the next one I think I'll just practice tonight again on the full moon.

                            The moon rose here at sunset, and it was within 30 minutes of totality then. Gorgeous sight, so eerie looking, so I tried to get a few shots of it for those on CP who missed it. Unfortunately the light level was too low for the camera to capture anything, even at f5.6 and 8 seconds exposure.:( Maybe next time. Nonetheless it was fun, with everyone regularly halting the dart match to dash outside and check the progress. I think they still hold some primeval fear that it won't come back...
