Not me, overcast with a chance of a rain/snow mix tonight. :(

[Fireman32]

Hopefully the skies will be clear by me. I will be watching it.

[jakelm]

Will be raining here, of all nights. The past 3 nights have been perfect for star gazing, now something truely awsome and rain.

[BIZILL]

overcast here in the az.

[jakelm]

Here too. Exploding satellites (probably wont see it), lunar eclipses. Damn weather...

[BIZILL]

it's clearing up now in the az.

[MacLeod]

I was looking forward to seeing this but its pretty cloudy outside so I may miss it. :(

[NotaSuv]

crystal clear here in Mn......2 degrees.....beautiful bright full moon looking out the living room.....should be quite the stellar eclipse

[nikolas812]

Clear as a bell here. A nice clean country sky. Thanks for the heads up.

[Kajun442]

Cloudy here in Mississippi. So on to plan B, drinking some Crown and watching DSOTM. Wish I could see it, but plan B ain't bad either.:)

[sophie]

is this going on now? i keep watching for it but nothing is happening.

[66chevyIISS]

9pm central time I believe.

[m00npie]

All clear in southern PA. It has started and about 20% is covered.

[BIZILL]

iddn't it beautiful? since i'm viewing it alone, can i live vicariously as though you all are watching it with me? almost like some joe dirt action...

[treitz3]

Charlotte checking in, clear skies. Someone took a bite out of the moon! :eek:

[bobman1235]

Perfectly clear here too, looks pretty cool.

[NotaSuv]

Even better with this one will be a triangle formed with Saturn and the star Regulus and the moon at total eclipse...too bad so damn cold out 0 with 12 below windchill..just dont dare take the camera out...

[danger boy]

is everyone watching this? yesterday we had a meteor here too. this is way coool.


we are not alone.......

[danger boy]

the only thing that would top this is if they ever shot down a spy satellite or something, but that would never happen. :p ;)

[nikolas812]

Almost there.:)

[petrym]

It's freakin' 7 degrees outside - I went out for 5 seconds just now, the western limb is still glowing, but it's in totality! :D

[nikolas812]

Totally??:confused::D

[petrym]

< ------ Smacks nikolas812 ;):rolleyes:;)

[unc2701]

Can see it pretty well here. Got some decent pics, but I'm waiting for it to come back out a little (pics just look like a dim moon).

[shadowofnight]

Awesome here....can see it right out the window ....really dark already..missed the first stages. Anybody got a kickass telephoto lens ?

[66chevyIISS]

clouds rolled in go figure, I can get a small glimps of it every few minutes through the thinner cloud layers blowing through.

[Jstas]

I got to see it! YAY! Clouds went away for about an hour and a half and I got to see it! YAY!

[shadowofnight]

My backyard 5 minutes ago......

Joe,

Great pic, I tried but don't have a tripod to stabilize it during the 2" exposure...

[jmwest1970]

Great pics Joe! I wanted to take my stepson out, but it's cloudy as hot brew after a munchkin poured it here. :rolleyes:

[mrbigbluelight]

I stood out by the loading dock at work tonight and watched it for quite some time.

Mega-cool.

The coyotes on the property seemed to enjoy it, too, as they were pretty vocal tonight. Pretty eerie, watching the moon disapear and the howling ....

[Fireman32]

It cleared up by me before the full eclipse so I got to see some of it. Very cool to watch.

[buton6]

Sky was clear I was ready then I forgot, fell asleep in front of TV got up it was over,

[VSchneider]

Nothing but thick clouds over my house last night. Very disappointing. I even practiced with with my camera on a tripod the night before... and all for nothing.

[Ricardo]

My backyard 5 minutes ago......

Cool; I always wanted to know what the DSOTM looked like :)

[MacLeod]

Yup, I missed it. Pisses me off. 2 hours before the eclipse, the skys were clear as a bell and you could see the moon big as life. 30 minutes before the eclipse and the sky was covered. Couldnt even tell where the moon was. Figures.
