Nice! All our kids clustered around the patio door and got to see it; they have a little telescope they were able to make work, as well as my 7x50 (light-gathering) binoculars.
The latest version of Celestia actually has an eclipse-tracking feature, so you can go back and replay the event in time. (You don't get the reddish color.) I love flying around in Celestia.

Very cool, thanks for posting the pics. I'm assuming the two other bright spots are planets?
