I got home from work at 1 am and planned on walking outside at around 2 To take a peak but my neighbor was in his driveway with a telescope so we stood out there together talking until it totally eclipsed. (and freezing our butts off) Never saw “red.” Looked like a grayish orange to me. Anyways, the discussion with neighbor was cool because he turns out to be a pretty smart guy. Awake and enlightened. Could even be a FReeper for all I know:)
