Default eclipse

had a very good view of the eclipse tonight... also saturn, just to the lower left of the moon. this was a suprise for me i didn't expect it to be there. i used my little rinki-dink telescope and could actually see the dark area between saturn and it's rings.i was blown away for a minute! didn't get to see the satelite thing though...i knew it was supposed to happen but didn't know when or where... so i guess i missed it. did anyone else get to see it?? 'night all - cory

Didn't get to see it here, that white powdery stuff was coming down.

They did hit the satellite with a missile last night though.

It was partly cloudy here but I managed to get a few shots between and thru the clouds. The clouds moved in completely about the time the moon was completely eclipsed so I wasn't able to get any more pictures.
