Final shot before I go to bed:

Thanks for the thread, Carmen. I heard about it in the Acton post office but had forgotten. I looked and it was about dark. Then I called my to tell him to check it out, and it was gone, hidden by clouds for a while.

 

Fortunately, the snow event we had left town not long before the eclipse, so I got a fantastic view of it outside the balcony. Did not look so red to me, and it was not completely black, either. More like a pale white. The +1 saw it in RI, also.

 

I'll have some shots posted later today. I had the telescope set up, too, and was finally ably to locate Saturn. You could see that there were rings, a circle about the size of an "o" on my monitor and protrusions on either side. At first. I wondered if it was an anomaly of light or slight movement because of he crappy tripod, but when I let the scope settle and didn;t touch it, the image became quite clear.

 

Speaking of this little blue marble of ours, it seems the tectonic plates are on the move again. Just had a 6.3 in Nevada. It's all amazing to me.

 

It was a very clear sky here and easy to see. Neat. I didn't think of taking a picture; now I wish I had.

pictures Al. I never even went out to look at the Moon.

 

Sweeet, AJ. Yours too, Jonas.

 

Great photographs thanks. We were able to see the moon from inside the house, far too cold to go out.
