Gonna go outside with lawnchair and a Strawberry Margarita! :beer:

? smoke from cigars? or what?

Smoke in Texas, I think, from fires in No. Mexico.

The skies are totally clear in Northern IL...this is awesome.

Yeah, I just went outside. Can barely differentiate the outline of the Moon because of conditions. Dang!

saw a little bit of it on the local news channel but it's still too cloudy to get a nice view.

It's NOW

I see it now. It just passed the maximum and is getting brighter.

Wow I expected at least a couple threads about this. Didn't anyone else watch it? Our HS physics teacher told us about it and a bunch of people got together at the park tonight to see it.

Moon rose too late to see it here. 🙁

I'll post a couple pics from Minneapolis MN for those who couldn't see it. In about 15 min when I get home from work.

i watched it! fun stuff.

Watched it tonight, very nice 🙂

I took some pics with the S400. Too lazy to resize at the moment, pics are pretty big, but here you go:
eclipse1
eclipse2
eclipse3

Don't have much photography experience, so yeah the pics are not that great. Took 64 photos, only a few came out fine. Turns out that I had enabled long shutter 🙁 Had some 0.8s and 1 second shots 🙁 Came out blurrier than my eyes, heh.

Well, with my five year old POS camera I got this pic.

Eclipse from Las Vegas (just took it, 9:40ish)

[Moonbeam]

Nice total eclipse photo there Wintermute. That's my buddy Earthshine

 

[LunarRay]

I told em you'd do something like this...
Now come back.... all is forgiven..

 

[cavemanmoron]

i was able to watch to about 1/2 eclipse before the clouds made it impossible.
Nice sight while i could watch!

I checked again,while "total",the clouds were still too thick to see the moon,or any stars.. 🙁
