Anyone else here in the south? It looks just like the picture that was posted about an hour ago. Is it possible that it's just starting for me?

I keep popping out to see it - Tommy was still awake so we sat outside and watched the moon disappear, then came inside...

[mayerkt]

YES!  It was ridiculously clear here too - so pretty!  I even froze my buns off for a little bit to go play with my camera (I actually used it in Manual *GASP* - but still don't knwo what the sam heck I'm doing!)  these were taken about 9:15 Central time......so a little bit past prime. Anyone know what the stars/planets are around the moon??

NO stinkin' way!!!!!!!!  THose photos are AMAZING!!!  I tried to use manual on my camera and it was a joke!  Did you use a tri-pod?  Well, I'm totally impressed!  It was very clear here as well and I tried but got NOTHING like this.  Great job!

The planet Saturn and the bright star Regulus will form a broad triangle with the moon's ruddy disk, according to Joe Rao, SPACE.com's Skywatching Columnist.Here is a link to the whole article.http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/0 ... -news.html

I know what a beautiful sight the stars, the moon and the outer space are and also under sea life!   But for some reason it has scared me all my life.  I don't know what it is I just can't look at these things.  I have tried but to no avail.  it scares the living crap out of me.

Gorgeous photos, Karin!  That's exactly what we saw here, only minus the building.  It was really beautiful!

In Michigan, we had a clear, crispy, and extremely cold evening ... the eclipse was absolutely beautiful ... for the most part, my family watched it ... truly AMAZING!

[Kara]

Thanks for the pics Karin, cause I missed it!

I fell asleep

I went outside last night to look at it.  And it was very cool.  Those pics show exactly what it looked like from the naked eye.  Great pictures.

I missed it.  I didn't see the moon out while driving home from church (but wasn't looking for it either) and I didn't think about it until about 9:30 or so.  I looked out the window but didn't see anything.  Those pics are really cool!

[rebajane]

Wow, you really had a clear shot. Great photos!! We did the family thing and watched with the kids. Its cool we watched the whole thing from our couch. Turned off all the lights and just sat there chatting. When it went dark we went outside and looked at it froze our butts off...Brrrrrr! it's freeezing!

[sarahwhithers]

I ran out and took a look too, and a couple pics. They aren't anywhere near as beautiful as those ones, but I got a couple of nice ones i think. It is a beautiful sight for sure but man it was freezing out so I didn't stay out for very long.

[wahoo_mom]

Incredible photos, Megan!  It was a total eclipse here, but no red coloring.  Didn't even think to try pictures, but then I didn't want to go outside anyway.  Wish I had for the kids.  They were so excited about it.  Woke up DS#1 to see it, but he was too groggy and didn't remember this morning.  Tried to wake DS#2, but he was zonked.

[katarria]

We saw it about halfway through but I was too lazy to get out my camera. There were lots of good camera tips online about what f-stop, ISO, etc... to use. 

[MOM2SNOX]

Yep! Took the kids out with the camera last night and watched it from 6:35 until it totally eclipsed (7:01pm), took a few pictures and the novelty wore off quickly for the kids so we headed back in before it revealed itselg again..  But it was pretty cool! Especially this morning when we saw Bella Luna in all her beautiful glory on our way to school!
