Pajama Mama Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It starts around 8 PM ET. We're in Pittsburgh and it's snowing and cloudy. That means that we will miss it--darn. This is supposed to be a total eclipse. Those with clear skies--have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks for the reminder, I had totally forgotten about it. It's raining here though, so I doubt we'll be able to see anything either :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm so disappointed...it's cloudy here also. My oldest dd would absolutely LOVE to see the eclipse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 We had absolutely lovely, clear skies for the past several nights. Now the cloud cover is returning so I fear we won't have a good viewing. The timing is perfect for us (7:30 PST), so I'm hoping we'll at least get a glimpse.

mcconnellboys Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's only partly cloudy here, so I'm still hopeful! And they say we might be able to even see a bluish sort of color, as opposed to the usual dull reddish glow. Last eclipse until 2010!

Denise in IN Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It's a beautiful, cold, clear night here. The partial eclipse is starting - so cool! I don't believe I've seen one before. I'm so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack25 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It is very cool here in NJ. The clouds have cleared just in time. If you look at the partially eclipsed moon with binoculars, you can see a bluish purplish glow around part of the moon and an orangey glow around another part.

Tarheel Heather Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Minus the airplanes flying over. How do you take pictures?? We have tried but we just end up with blobs. Ds really wants pictures. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Just saw it! It's about fully eclipsed here in TX. Our 6.5 year old enjoyed seeing it, but the bat that flew overhead was more exciting. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. at J.A. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 We're watching it and I was taking pictures, but of course, the battery died in my camera! UGH! Oh well, no guarantees that they would have been in focus anyway! It is still really cool to look at! We saw Saturn and its rings with DHs telescope. We're watching it from inside but can still see it pretty well. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanM Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It was cold and clear here. I'm not sure if my 6 yo will remember it in the morning, he was pretty sleepy. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
