S. Richard: "Photographs just don't do it justice.
Hearing my daughters scream WOW as they gazed at the eclipse through
my binoculars was a thrill for me. Right when it went 'total' my
oldest made the remark that it looked like someone was shining a
flashlight
down on the moon, pretty descriptive." |

C. Rollwagen: "On Friday morning, May 16th,
I was able to observe the lunar eclipse for a few minutes from Park
Sanssouci
in
Potsdam. Most of the
time the sky was cloudy, then the moon appeared for a short time through a
hole in the clouds just when it was about to set." |

B. Snarr : "This was
taken me (a
physics teacher at Modesto Adventist Academy) and two high school physics
students,
Krystle Toyama and Kary Davis using a Meade 8" LX200
and a Nikon D100. We had to wait for a while until
the moon was visible. Nice, though, for an initial
trial with the telescope and camera!" |
