Myself and my wife witnessed full totality but only had our Mobile phone camera. Still we got this nice picture of a bush projecting lots of little eclipsed suns! Taken using Sony Ericson K750i.

The Astronomy Club at NDU showed the eclipsing sun to several hundred students and staff members using telescopes, eclipse viewers and video feed. Although the eclipse wasn't total in Lebanon, people of all ages were very excited to witness the event.
