Still a few minutes to catch the eclipse.

[Charles]

Gogogo!

It's starting to lighten already.

[Jamie Madigan]

Yeah, I was just getting ready to post something about this. I got a good view of it from where I am. Very clear, pretty neat. I think this is the last eclipse for quite a while.

I am on this since maybe an hour and a half ago. Have and old Celestron C-8 and a couple binoculars and the whole family having a good time with them.

Also guys, take your time to appreciate Saturn, keeping company to our moon the whole way.

[Fugitive]

Bah, I knew I should have gotten a tripod. I got some half-decent pics of the last one, but only because I caught it right on the horizon and could just set my camera down on a flat surface.

Too many clouds here. One of my buddies texted me "Fucking clouds...there's a lunar eclipse right now, and we can't see it."

[Alan Dunkin]

Too many clouds here too. Unfortunately I found out there were a ton of webcasts way too late.

Wow dudes, thanks, I almost missed it! And after lots of clouds all day, it just happens to be a bit hazy but totally visible. Didn't see totality but there's a good big chunk out of it alright!

My poor wife lost her glasses, which she only really needs at night, so she couldn't see it very well :-(

[Greedo]

Ya, a little too cloudy here as well. :(

[Demon G Sides]

There were people just standing all around my campus, necks bent, heads craned skywards.

Was something out of like, a Sci-Fi Alien movie.

[Major Icehole]

Cloudy in Denver :(

Gotta catch the next one in 2010. Isn't that the year we make contact anyway?

I'm just playing with this camera before i take it back, so it probably is not as good as it could have been. I couldn't figure out shutter speeds in the dark, this camera is a bit different than the more recent model.

Not bad...

What type of lens did you use to get the moon that big?

[DoomMunky]

Shit, I missed it.

Any Bay Area people able to see it? I'll feel better about not even trying to get out and see it if it was cloudy here...

[notatiger]

As Juan mentioned, that non-moon object is Saturn. My fiancee got her telescope out last night and after watching the moon for a bit (which looked very sci-fi too me) we turned to Saturn and were able to get such a good view we could see the rings!

[Enidigm]

Just a long-zoom 12x P&S + a tripod.

Shutter/f-stop were on auto on the night setting; since i'm taking it back, i'm not going to open the manual :D.

I was still at work when the eclipse happened. Which sucked. I'm a total geek over astronomy.

[AaronSofaer]

I saw it with the girlfriend.

It was snowing earlier in the day, but it cleared up just in time! So joyous.

Red moon in the sky is freaky.

[Qenan]

Was overcast here last night... you could see it, but it was all fuzzy.

[VictoriaWong]

Saw it at the Maryland Space Grant Observatory. Stood in the below-freezing weather for an hour inside what was, admittedly, a heated dome. Heated by the ~50 folks that showed up. Didn't get a chance to catch totality at the telescope.
It was interesting.

[JMR]

Have any of you ever seen a total eclipse of the heart?
