Of course! The wife and I were out watching until she got too cold. Tried to get some pics but it's a new camera and way above my head as of yet.

Might have to resort to reading the (shudders a bit) instructions. :?

I saw it. It's pretty cool because the moon isn't actually blacked out it's just faint orange.

I've seen them before, always interesting. Use some good binoculars resting on something stable to view. Looks like something from the movies...looks like the moon has been air-brushed red hues.
