Or could it be that all those amazing August Mars pictures were actually the eclipsed Moon?

Hi Mark,
If you are unsure of what the shadow should look like, check out my image of the eclipse back in 2001. http://www.georgedingwall.freeuk.com/images/Moon_9.jpg I missed the recent one due to thick cloud.
