Thanks for the reminder, Sanibel. I was watching the game, but don't want to miss this since the sky is so clear.

Yep, 1021pm here in Woodbridge, Virginia. I'd say 97 percent of the moon is reddish. It's mostly clear here but it's COLD!!! It's 47 COLD degrees here!! What an eclipse!!

It's 9:53 in Pascagoula, MS and its 76 degrees, Jeg, send us some of that cool weather, we could use it!

The eclipse is beautiful, totally clear sky.

Great eclipse tonight! Very deep reddish/rust color. Perfect night for it, too, at least down my way. Comfortable, few clouds, light breeze to keep the mosquitos and other no-see-ums away. Finally able to get the telescope out for the first time in a while.

Hope everyone caught this -- last one visible in Florida for a few years. We get the partial phase of the hybrid solar eclipse next April, but then that does it for us for a while.

Saw the beginning, unfortunately the cloud cover later in the evening blocked the total eclipse for me. :cry:
