86er Posted February 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2008 The Moon started into hiding about 15 minutes ago and it's pretty cool! The lower left quarter is now missing. We have broken clouds here so it kind of comes and goes, disappearing a little more each time; it lends a bit of Lon Chaney feel to it! It's only supposed to last about 50 minutes and be a dark orange at it's peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2008 They said peak is suppose to be at 10:01 tonight east coast time. Just went to look we have clouds at the moment I'll try again a little later. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relic Posted February 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted February 21, 2008 Crystal clear here and it is 3/4 covered now. As Diane B would say AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted February 21, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 21, 2008 Almost covered. The Moon is getting orange. Wish I had a telescope so I could see Saturn. I guess during the eclipse you can see the rings better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted February 21, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 21, 2008 I appreciate all the pictures you folks are posting. It's overcast, foggy, cloudy and down right depressing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 21, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 21, 2008 Drats! I can't see it either... too many clouds after being clear all day. But if you go to "Astronomy Picture of the Day" in a day or so, it will probably be pictured there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaMo Posted February 21, 2008 Share #14 Posted February 21, 2008 I got to see parts the eclipse in between working. Here are some of my pics. Cropped them so you can see the colors better on the moon. Wished they were better. But then I was at work with spot lights and overhead lights around at the station.

86er Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted February 21, 2008 Nice shot Al! It didn't seem that orange here, I guess due to the thin clouds that were scuttling across the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
