Hey guys,

For anyone who missed it, I got one decent shot of the eclipse. Apparently the aligning of the moon and those two visible stars is only happening once in this millenia. Anyway, here it is:

Shot with my Canon EOS 40D with Canon EF 70-200m f/4L. I overlapped two images to get detail in the shadow part of the moon as well as the highlight area.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, it was windy but I had my tripod set up in between two cars in the parking lot of my gf's apt complex. I wish I had a slightly longer lens to get a bigger, more detailed shot, but I think this one turned out alright.

I didn't know about the star part.

That's friggin badass.
