Suppose to have a snow storm here though. I was hoping to get good pics or even time lapse of it.

I have a 1600mm lens on the way, well got the lens, but waiting for the adapter. Probably wont get it by then anyway.

I plan on staying up to see it.

Work night. I ain't staying up until 2am just to see it.

I wish it were tonight - perfect night for viewing here. Probably going to be cloudy tomorrow night.

 

[mrrman]

might see it to as long as the sky is not overcast

Not planning on staying up until 2 AM to see this, it's probably going to be cloudy here anyway.

I can't wait til the 2017 solar eclipse, that's going to be awesome.

Forecast shows clouds here. Oh well.

experts expect it to be a bright orange instead of a "blood red"

I will watch it for an hour or so as long as the clouds/snow do not obscure it too much.

Also, I very strongly loathe the existance of Daylight savings time. It's more like nightdark stealing time!

If it wasn't for that shitty horrible "Daylight time", then the total eclipse would hit at 1:08 am. But, thanks to that dreadful daylight time, the bane of my existance, the clock will be running an hour ahead of time, so it will say 2:08am even if it only feels like 1:08 am.

Anyhow, I can not stress enough with words my outrage and hatred for DST. Rant over, for now...

Should call in sick to watch it...

Looks like I wont be seeing it. Freaking snow storm. So sick of winter.

 

[Scotteq]

Already clouded over here...


Guess I may as well get a full night's sleep, and then work tomorrow...

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah really wanted to see this too, then again it sorta works out, I still did not get my ring adapter for my telephoto lens so it would be a kick in the face to see it and not be able to take a pic.

I'll wait to see it online, I'm sure someone will have taken plenty of pics or a time lapse. Not the same though as seeing it in person.

How do you live up there... There was more than enough snow effing south. On the other hand, I can't afford anything. Okay, I see why now.

I got the telescope ready, but it looks like it will be cloudy.

 

[John Connor]

Not a cloud in the sky tonight! Here's to the end of the world! LOL!

Yeah cost of living. That and I really don't want to have to deal with the traffic.

Though, I often contemplate moving. If I did not have to work, I probably would.
