The best candidates for 2007 are 3 March with the full moon at
2317, and 24 December with the full moon at 0116 (local day is
23 December). . . .

Right on Laura. That's the quick answer, although it is unclear what
the original poster was after. There is an APOD within the past year
that I could not relocate, where someone took a partial eclipse
picture right at sunset. You can see the advancing dome of night in
the distance and beyond that the Moon and the Earth's shadow just
clipping off part of the Moon. Now if somebody could tell me the next
time I can take a picture to replicate _that photo_ -:) - Canopus56
