I saw it through a hole in the clouds from Watertown around 8, with a  
small portion just emerging from the umbra. Very nice, not much color  
at that point.

What is amazing to me about Chris' photos is that he captured 7th mag  
stars in the same frame as the full moon - with a 3.2 second exposure  
during twilight!

Just to the left of the moon:	Chi Leonis , mag. 4.59
	and above Chi: HIP45057, mag. 7.25
Just below the moon:	59 Leonis, mag. 4.96
Above and to the right:	56 Leonis, mag. 5.90
	to the right of 56: HIP53362, mag. 7.37
2º 45' away at the 4/5 o'clock position:	58 Leonis, mag. 4.81
Far right, 5º 23' away: 36 Sextantis, mag. 6.25

Only during an eclipse could you image stars this faint and still  
have detail across the disc of the moon, I guess. Beautiful shots.

Eric
