This picture was taken 10 to 15 minutes before the eclipse was "complete". If I had waited for it to be complete I wouldn't have had anything to take a picture of now would I? Actually, even when it was complete it was not really all that exciting. The moon often looks just like that through a light cloud cover. For those who missed it and really want to know, it looked a little darker, somewhat "smokey" in appearance.....and....that's it. It stayed that way for a long time, and then a crescent of light grew on the other side. *yawn*

Nice picture!
It was too cloudy here for us to see. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to it.
jeramey and i went for a walk specifically to watch the eclipse.... i must admit, we had a similar reaction...yawn. we just saw the moon go a bit darker (not as dark as your picture) and kinda redish-brown. thats it. when we squinted our eyes it kinda looked like a giant fireball hurtling towards earth and that was kinda cool. haha.
Well, I missed it. I always miss it. But, at least I got to see your pic of it this time. Thanks.
