Great capture Pete - so the face of moon is not dark at totality
although it looks to the eye the blackest thing in the sky. Damn that

;-) Actually I recall the moon looks pretty much dark blue -- at least in
binoculars. I find it interesting that I never noticed (or didn't think to
look) for earthshine whether through binoculars or a telescope.
