Lucked out here in Toronto. Clouded over just as it started, but cleared when half-covered. Should start coming back out just as it sets.

The stars were brilliant after the eclipse totalled and the sky darkened. Great looking even if a little low in the western sky this time.

It was clear here in MS. Watched it through my 50X Nikons.
Wished I had had my dad’s telescope though.

Moon going below tree line here in eastern NC. Got lucky and clouds cleared out for good view. Seems darker than last eclipse, I suppose because moon was near perigree.

Watched it while here at work near Waynesboro, GA. Got a full view despite the artificial lighting.

I just came back in, and most of the animals outside are squawking, mooing, barking, and hooting.
It's clear hear, and it IS a sight to see.

Sun coming up here soon. Going to try to get a couple of pictures before the moon drops below the skyline; I’m downtown.

Cloudy and rainy here, so no eclipse visible (waaaaah!)

Watching it at 6 am Eastern
Only slim cresant left
At totality (6:25am) moon was dull orange, but was getting lost in the low cloud cover
After that lost sight of it

Cloudy here in Sydney Australia but the clouds
have an eerie red glow reflecting back from the moon.

Where are you? It was kind of dull and disappointing where I was on the coast of NC, under totally clear skies.
I looked three different times, including the peak time.
To: Yosemitest
Near FR Central with my old Nikon CoolPix 5700. Near totality at 3:22am PDT:

Between the rising fog, the brightening twilight, and the moon descending into the tree line, I lost sight of it,
but it still seemed to be in full eclipse at about 6:20 AM Central.
