We're seeing the same bitty shadow here in mostly clear Michigan right now, and my kids are freaking out.

I don't know what they're more excited about--the eclipse, or staying up on a weeknight.

(pic of my 10" on my FR home page, btw)

Normally we don't post things like that on a family forum.

Nice Dobsonian, BTW.

Oh, it’s the latter, LOL! My kids were the same way. They STILL talk about the time that we all (Mom, Dad, the three boys, the dogs...even the cats!) slept out on the deck in August to watch a meteor shower.

Of course, they whined and complained the whole time...until “The Show” started. They fell asleep soon after they counted 200 “falling stars.”

Good times. Enjoy this! :)

A great big coppery O in the sky, flanked by a star of kingship and a planet with a freakin’ halo. It’s a sign, people! SURRENDER HILLARY!

Obama could utilize this triple omen in an ad much better than Huckster tried with his creepy cross.

Thanks. It's a Discovery PDHQ model. I think they are out of business now, but their scopes had/have very good optics.

It's 9:16 EST and the eclipse is just under halfway across the face of the moon from my vantage point (25 miles NE of Indianapolis, Indiana).
