It was beautiful indeed. I tried to get some pic's of the event. I have several rolls of film to be developed. I'll take them in tomorrow and hopefully will have some that are decent enough to post. On a side note. Mars was up later in the evening in the east and I had the best views I've ever seen of the planet thru our tiny 4.5 inch Orion Starmaster classic dob, with a 20mm lens and a 2x Celestron barlow giving 180 x magnification. I could see Syrtis Major as a dark blob, the south polar cap as a distinctly white patch on the limb and another darker feature diagonally bisected in the norhtern hemisphere. Makes me want to try and get my 5 inch F15 refractor refurbed and back in action.
