I'm just wpndering, did anyone enjoy this? Anyone care to show any pics anyone took of it? It's because I only have a 3x optical zoom digital camera, so It looks like mars from mine =(.

I stayed up 'til 3 in the morning here, to step outside into the midst of a thick blanket of clouds :|

The clouds near me cleared away just before it happened and it got really clear. I didn't take any pictures, just stood out there for awhile and enjoyed it. It definitely gives you a sense of the relative size of ourselves compared to our solar system, and is a little awe-inspiring. The next lunar eclipse comes through in 2010, hopefully it won't get clouded over for you again.

I'd like to add to this. :)
If anyone has some photos, and is willing to post them, feel free to send a link. ;) I missed it too. It was cloudy
