I saw it. We're up in Alaska right now, pretty awesome stuff, great to view the sky.

We were skiing up until about an hour before the eclipse started, so that gave us time to get back to the house and make some hot chocolate :D

thanks for the photos.. It was snowing here (minnesota.. so not a shock).. so I was unable to see it :(

Yeah, too cloudy here in NY, I really wanted to see it too. Thanks for sharing the pics...I'm jealous!

Damn i dont Have access to my Pictures... now but will post as soon as I gt Home. Sky was nice and clear in NYC but wind was taking a tool on sharpens of Photos ( I used long zoom camera) I used stabilization and Tripod but my tripod is light and every wind blow took its tool.

Gonna be at Home in couple hours so i gonna put some Photos here ;)

Full moon is required for total lunar eclipse. It is rare for one to occur on the Solstice.

I want to see a lunar eclipse (Earth eclipse?) from the surface of the moon.

Ok As I promised....

WARNING !!! DUW!!!!!

I think if you were on the moon it would be a solar eclipse, but it would still be pretty cool!
