We had a great view of it this morning from Prescott, AZ. Those are some great photos showing the phase of each body. Thanks.

Many thanks for the photos! My husband and I walk our greyhounds every day at 4:30 A.M., so we’ve become very interested in the sky on our walks. What a treasure today was! We kept thinking as we viewed this wonderful beauty that probably 99% of the Phoenix, AZ population missed out. We took some photos, too, but they’re not as good as yours. Thanks again!

Great pictures! I had a perfect view from Austin, TX. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my telescope and camera. I was there on business.
