Totally overcast here in Central VA. Last night, naturally, was totally clear. The clouds rolled in just in time to hide tonight's spectacle.........

I"ve got scattered clouds. But, I get glimpses that are stunning. It's about halfway covered right now!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Ooooh...gorgeous right now! About 1/2 covered, and right now, still low enough in the sky for it to look HUGE!!

So....not all of the east coast is covered in clouds.....(if my poor digital camera could, I'd take a picture.....)"When I'm on my bike I forget about things like age. I just have fun." Kathy Sessler

Oh, Jane, you're right! There's a big hole in the cloud cover (at least for the moment, LOL!) right where the moon is now (9:42 p.m.)......Verrrrrryyyyy cool!......

Poifect pic, Jane! Sky seems to be clearing really fast here. It's sometimes hard to tell what's going on sky-wise here 'cause we've got so many big trees in my neighborhood.........

There was a little hole in the clouds and we caught a glimpse of a sliver of the moon just now, but you wouldn't guess it was in eclipse unless you'd already been informed.

The skies cleared up exactly when we needed it. That *never* happens. I gotta go sacrifice a goat or a virgin or something....
Here's a couple of photos I took this evening. Hope you enjoy.Last edited by Popoki_Nui; 02-20-2008 at 11:36 PM. Reason: add photo

DH and I went outside last night to catch a bit of it. Brrrrr...clear and cold (especially when wearing only sweats and slippers!). I had forgotten about it until he mentioned it.
Popokui_Nui...that's a great picture. Is that hooked up to a telescope? DH mentioned being able to see the rings of Saturn with a good-ish tele (I remember we used to have a semi-decent one when I was a kid and could see them). Any pix of Saturn?2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm
