When is the next one, and how would you document it the best? Where is the next place to see it?

Your first answer was correct. Feb.20-21, 2008. The way I documented it was going outside and setting up my camcorded on a tripod. But you have to remember to adjust it as the earth rotates.

Didn't see it but wanted to, got up at 4:00am and it was storming here, so I didn't want to go up a tower to view it at the horizon. I would documented with a digital camera on a tripod and the next eclipses and best viewing locales are as follows... check out the link, you can see them halfway across the planet.

Looks like the next one is Feb. 21, 2008. The full eclipse will be visible from most of North & South America, western Europe and western Africa.

Because of my location the eclipse happened during moonset and was obstructed by trees. However here are some shots I took.

I saw it! Although it was halfway through the diminishing part, but then again still cool! Watching from Borneo here, so it went total before the real sunset...
