This morning's view of the eclipse...
I was at the park at 5:30 am. It was foggy but a clear sky. Sadly the moon was very low on the horizon and was ready to set behind a row of trees at the opposite end of the park. I got some pictures of the partial eclipse. By the time it went into totality it was just setting behind the trees. I did get a picture of totality but thanks to the fog and autofocus, all my pictures were grainy and worthless. Rats! Oh well. I'll try again on Feb. 21, 2008 and find a better viewing location. How was your view? Andy |

Got to see full eclipse, but then the clouds moved in so I have no view now. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

How was your view? Exquisite! I was in bed reading and would get up every half hour or so and go out on my porch and look at the moon through my 10x50 Steiners. Viewing conditions were idial and I followed it through all its orange to brown color stages before I finished my book and finally called it a night at 3:45 PDST. nb |

Becca I took a few pictures this morning as the shadow of the earth crossed the moon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clayirv...7601724559935/ At about 03:15 PST, the shadow of the earth completely covered the moon. It was a faint orange color in the sky. -- Clay Irving The bigger the information media, the less courage and freedom they allow. Bigness means weakness. - Eric Sevareid |
