Hmmm... I thought the eclipse was a bit brighter than previous ones. Sky & Telescope reports [http://www.skyandtelescope.com/commu...15838502.html]

This eclipse was brighter than the more central one last August — as indicated in this pair of images taken by Gary Seronik using the same telescope, camera, and settings. S&T: Gary Seronik
I've noted other observation reports that wondered if the discrepancy of brightness, color, etc., is due to the different viewing locations. Could this be a factor? Some folks said it seemed to be darker and some said brighter, and with varying descriptions of colors. In the comparison pic at the S&T site, the pic on the right (this eclipse) matches quite well with what I saw.
