Who's outside watching the lunar eclipse? It's 9:48PM just a few minutes from full. So far it looks cool. Kinda redish and it makes the moon look more 3-D than normal.

 

Here in SoFlo we've got about 75% cloud cover, but they're broken and blowing by, creating a peek-a-boo effect (it's just now going full).

That planet just NE of the Moon is impressive. Who remembers which it is (I don't)? HPH

 

Very very cool. It's about 9 degrees out, but the sky is crisp & clear. I'm videotaping so that Anika can see it tomorrow.

Same here...but the sky is clearing...we're about to see what's what

 

Hint:

It has the same name as a car made by GM.

 

I didn't know there was a star called "Lucerne"

 

here in ottawa, il its pitch black in the middle of the farmlands of america...not a cloud in the sky its totally covered and is really red looks amazing

 

and its satern +1 for me

 

Here's a crappy shot taken with my digital on maximum zoom with a tripod.

Good shot Jonas. That's the way it looked here too. Looks more like a planet than when she's all lit up. As I said, more 3-D looking.
