In case your pictures of the eclipse did not come out
or you missed it for some reason. Read on.

In the following thread about the eclipse GreedyTop and I
exchanged websites with exceptional astrophotography.

Lunar Eclipse Tonight

These NASA sites were mentioned:
NASA's Image Access Home Page
&
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day

Also mentioned was this site for great Astrophotography

Astrophotography by Anthony Ayiomamitis

Which among other stunning photos has this incredible picture
of Moonrise at the Temple of Poseidon in the Agean Sea.
It took fifteen months of planning and attempts to get it. Worth it!

Since it is now a couple of days after the eclipse it is not
surprising that pictures of it have now been posted at these sites.

This brillant image including Saturn at the left, and
bright Regulus, alpha star of the constellation Leo.

And Mr. Ayiomamitis revisited the Temple of Poseiden for two
images of the eclipse which also capture Saturn and Regulus.
This shot of totality. And this shot at twilight post totality
which being lighter shows more details.

If you would like to see a real close up of the moon in shadow,
Mr. Ayiomamitias has this image is from last year's eclipse.

While you are visiting if you choose to spend some time exploring
around these websites. I don't believe you will be disappointed.

As GreedyTop said they "ROCK"

We had way too much cloud cover to get any good pics.

The Temple of Poseidon is one of the most appealing pictures I have seen in quite awhile...It almost has a combination look of Past and Futuristic appeal..It almost shows how little one is when you consider what is going on elsewhere in the universe...I was once on a boat out in the pacific ocean..and when you look out upon the waters and consider the vastness of the ocean in comparison to that boat you are sitting in, it can create a feeling of awe and fear at the same time...Tempting
