Weatherman said clouds would be coming in from the west tonight, but they haven’t reached here.....Yet.

About 95% covered now, brownish/slight redish color on disk now. Could be “blood moon” type of thing.

Gone totally ‘dark’ in ne TX at 1:42 am! I can still see ‘the rabbit’ through the shade though, cool! :-)

The darkness of the soul before the dawn. That great orange globe hanging there, surrounded by stars. Too cold to stay. I will remember the shortest day when the 2 lights went out.

Very awesome! We got home late tonight and our headlights set them off. You could hear the babies howling,too. Hear them all the time, got to see one from my kitchen window in the backyard this summer.

Totality here, but the clouds have come in to cover it, no view right now.
To: pillut48
Oh that is good. What do you think of mine?
To: thecodont
In the past few minutes since I came in to warm up and post here some clouds rolled in—not many but enough that I can’t see the moon any more :-( but that’s okay because at least I got to see it darken! And I’m sure there will be awesome professional pictures tomorrow to check out! Good night all! :-)

Got a break in the clouds here, just as the eclipse went full. Beautiful.
Through binoculars, a reddish glow covered the surface. Reminded me of the distant wildfires I could see in the Santa Catalina Mtns years ago.
Added to my list of things I'll never see again, next to Hale Bopp.
