a
newly purchased telescope." |

This remarkable time exposure of the eclipse shows
the moon fading and surging again, star trails, and streaking lights
on a highway in the foreground. |

Horizon City, Texas, USA |
#1 |
Th. Dorman: "The eclipse
was great, much darker than I expected (I was hoping for a blood
red event). My camera had a hard time imaging the Moon at totality
because it was so dark. I captured this video in a sand storm (25
to 30 mph winds) with the camera on a tripod." |

M. Lynch: "We had a
beautifully clear night in Frankfort. As the shadow crept across the
Moon and the sky darkened, some stars very close to the lunar edge became
visible. A stunning sight!" |
