i can see the moon clear as day from my work office. i can see the shadow of earth creeping up on it now.

 

[GoingUp]

Im ready to head out into the freezing cold to try and photograph this beyotch.

 

[Jeff7]

Solid cloudcover here. With all the city lights, the entire sky looks about as orange as the eclipsed moon will. Oh well, I've seen at least one of these before.

 

[OdiN]

total cloud cover here. I wanted to take time lapse photos too

 

[spidey07]

here in KY a perfectly clear sky and the shadow is about 25% over the moon.
*squeal*

 

[Descartes]

Skies are relatively clear in north Atlanta. Covered about 25% as spidey said.

 

[BrokenVisage]

It's like stuck at 25% here too lol.

Damn, total cloud cover and it's raining here in LA. I was looking forward to photographing this, but I guess next time since it seems these things are coming around quite frequently.

 

[aphex]

party cloudy here in SW Florida, but I can see it... looks a little more than 25% here

 

[ThePresence]

Looks like about halfway now.

 

[BrokenVisage]

At about 75% now, getting slim.

 

[aphex]

almost gone here

 

[3NF]

Crystal clear skies here, but frigid. Wish I had a high quality camera/lens to take a picture of it. Oh well, I'm sure someone else will

 

[Eli]

It's actually clear here, amazing. I bet the locals will get some nice pictures.

It's almost full!

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

Me and my boys got to see it on at about 20% on the way home from swim lessons.

the 6 yr old has seen 1 comet, northern lights, countless meteors, many satellites, and now a lunar eclipse!

 

[fatpat268]

You know, it freakin figures... The moon is almost fully eclipsed now, and a shitload of clouds are starting to cover the moon up.

The northern sky is completely clear with a ton of clouds from the south. Ugh.

Sony A100? Thats a pretty good pic. I've got 100+ shitty shots of the eclipse on my Canon A570IS point and shoot just west of DFW.

Nice, I've got a Canon 75-300mm. It does take a while to get the hang of it by fiddling with the settings.. but once you get it right, the results are amazing.
