I was lucky enough to get to the total eclipse path, first ever for me, and
really not very many good partial eclipses during my almost 60 years. More lunar
eclipses for some reason.

Was so busy using the camera I almost missed the eye view! Didn't get a picture
of the pre-eclipse crescent light/shadows, but did afterward because it was
everywhere while it lasted.

Never tried to get the same photo from moonlight but why wouldn't that be
possible too? Not sure about actually seeing it with own eyes but a long
exposure photo must do that.
