So, eclipse anyone? We’ve got a pretty good view ; moonrise just over the Wasatch Mountain Range… Spectacular!

Thanks for posting that. I didn’t know it was on tonight. I went outside to try and see it but we have a lot of apartments and houses blocking the view of the horizon unfortunately. I will have to watch a video of it later I guess.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
We’ve had clouds off and on – cloudy when the eclipse started … a fully eclipsed moon was mostly visible 30 minutes ago (on the East Coast). I need to go out and check again!
Edit – the clouds are back … 🙁
We were completely socked in here in North Georgia and couldn’t see a thing. My son and his girlfriend went to a local science museum that was going to stream a live feed from another museum. I’ll be interested to hear how that went.
We watched it! Missed the first part because it was smoky, or cloudy or something as it rose, but we got a good view of most of it.
The clouds seem to be here to stay tonight but I still can tell that the eclipse is over, or mostly over. It is MUCH lighter outside than it was when the clouds were covering the eclipsed moon.
August 21, 2017 – A total eclipse of the sun will be visible in North America. As best I can tell from a small map, Melody and TDM will be near the path of total eclipse. According to a website, the maximum point of the eclipse will take place near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. I may need to go and visit my daughter in Southern Illinois. 🙂
Too many clouds for us 🙁

Really? Solar eclipse over much of North America? I’d love to see that! I’ve only gotten to see smallish percentage partials. That would be totally awesome to witness!
This is the website I looked at the other day.

This one is more detailed. A trip to Corvallis, anyone?
Sorry it took me forever to post these (I couldn’t find the adapter for reading my old, old digital camera’s memory card).
Out of a bunch of shots, the best two from the eclipse:
The first was around 9pm CST; the second about 20 minutes later. I’m sure there are many better pictures available online for people to see but when it comes to things like this, the pictures mean more to me when I take them. Then I have to share! Not too bad for an old camera with only a 15x zoom; unfortunately the best night photo mode filter requires using a tripod (it’s the mode I used but braced my body against my car). Using that mode without a tripod means most of the pictures end up blurry…but I’m content I got a few good ones. Clouds were an issue as the eclipse started but they cleared up until just after the halfway point…then they came back and it was nothing but clouds! ~sigh~
