Total Eclipse This Sunday

Nothing here. Complete cloud coverage.

We got lucky here in Connecticut. I don't have the means to photograph such things but it was nice to watch.

Completely clouded over in DC metro. There were a few breaks in the clouds, but I didn't even bother.

Saw about half an hour of it, before the clouds got too thick.

Is a "blood moon" still a sign in the heavens, if it can't be seen.

Had a great view from the neighbor's driveway. Cottonwoods across the street blocked the view from my front stoop.

It was pretty cool, next blood super moon be 2033.

I forgot to look until shortly after the peak, but I ran outside and looked at intervals just after. Beautiful sight, and I was blessed with clear skies. I snapped a couple of photos with a digital camera, but I didn't have a tripod and I don't think bracing against the corner of the house was solid enough. I'm afraid to look at my photos, because I'm sure they'll be nothing but a blur.

Which is a shame.

We had a total eclipse last year, or maybe year before last, that started pretty early in the morning.

I got to work and stood with a bunch of people on the front steps of our building watching until the moon dipped behind the building across the street.


The last eclipse I watched front to back was back in the 1980s when I was on staff at Scout camp. It was staff week, so we just sat out in the one field, built a fire, roasted hot dogs and corn, and watched the show.

There was four total lunar eclipses in the last couple years, of course certain people were calling it the end of time. Silly people.

Here is a picture from the local news, taken on the Mississippi River at Muscatine, IA.

Nice images Larry!

I saw it starting.  (told the wife that a giant wolf was eating the moon; she didn't get it and I had to explain it)  Went inside, planning to check on it later.  Got busy watching Arrested Development on amazon prime.  Remembered a couple of hours later and went out and checked again.  It was already past total eclipse, but still impressive.

Was hoping for an apocalypse to begin but it didn't happen.

Yeah, no zombies. That was kind of a bummer.

One more from last night taken after the eclipse.
I played with this one in Lightroom and it is actually a HDR merge of three images. Summer time is not the best for shooting the sky, too much haze.

Partly cloudy. By the time it was total it was cloudy enough that I could not even locate it visually.

Son1 got some great pix, though, from 30 miles north of here.
