“Very nice pics”

“Beautiful pics, Mike. :)

“Great job Mike!

My camera is in India with my girlfriend right now. :( double bummer.

I tried to use her point and shoot but nothing turned out real good.”

“very nice pics”

“Awesome, Mike. You captured it beautifully.”

“cool pics mike - I tried last night, had no idea the moon moved so fast.”

“great pics...this was my first eclipse...it's amazing what a difference just a simple pair of binoculars made”

“I'm no expert, but someone from another forum (photography forum) told me it may be 'Regulus'.

BoulderMan - nice job!

ChicagolandRon - Bummer².

Y2 - It does travel fast! It took about 10 minutes to travel "one frame" on my camera.

Thanks everybody...”
