BA: Patience was required last night. I was at the Sommers-Bausch Observatory open house for the event and we got some pretty good looks at it, in between clouds. Near the end, I saw it beautifully from Gunbarrel, too. ’twas a fun evening at SBO, even during the cloudy bits.

I had a spectacular view from southern Wisconsin, though frigid doesn’t even begin to describe the temperature! (I think my toes are still thawing out several hours later.) I’m always amazed during total lunar eclipses how many stars one can see right next to the full moon. I know WHY they’re visible, but it’s such an unusual sight, that it still amazes me.

I’d love to take a look at Earth from the lunar surface during totallity; the ‘halo’ our atmosphere must make around our homeworld would be a gorgeous sight to behold!

Crystal clear throughout the eclipse for us here in Frost Heaves, MA. It was lovely!

I watched for a while, but remember that this whole “eclipse” thing is *just a theory*. My own theory involves a giant space turtle. There are details on my blog. That’s right, I’m an “eclipse truther.”

Beautiful view from Indiana, got to try out a new camera. Once I finally figured out the right settings, I got some decent shots. Nothing worth publishing, but fine for the scrapbook.

@SteveT: Oh I’m not surprised… I mean, French Canada is a pain in the behind area.

I love the cold and winter though It’s a pain for other reasons.

The only thing I saw at 3.26am this morning was the inside of my eyelids.
