Looks like most of us will be able to see it, weather permitting of course...

Cool.  I hope it's not cloudy here.  Often is when the good stuff is in the viewable sky.

May be a good reason to start a fire & have a few beers.

yeah, Bayonet Jr has an awesome telescope that was a gift a few years ago, and now we're going to have 100% cloud cover for the next 3 days.

Your prayer worked here. Clouds parted and we're having a beautiful view of the eclipse. Invited the neighbors and their kids over to watch through our telescope.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Clouds opened briefly here and Bayonet Jr and Mrs B were able to see for a few while I was recording the GrogCast.

The telescope we have was able to magnify the tiny bits we had through the clouds, so that was cool

Glad to be of assistance  :coolsmiley:

I was lucky and caught the eclipse as well. I don't know if this depended on where one is geographically, but The moon was never completely eclipsed. There was a tiny sliver of light that crept from the 5 o clock position through 6 and then 7 o clock. Using some binos I did see a few faint stars very close to the upper part of the moon which was cool and strange.

Stayed mostly cloudy for us, but we were able to catch a few brief glimpses through the clouds.

Clouds parted and the dog and I stared at it from the treeline for a few minutes. Creepy.

The sky and weather were perfect here and we just needed to deal with the trees. By walking around near the house we had good views of the moon all evening.

It's the end of the tetrad.

Then your dog turned to you and asked, " why did you take my nuts?".
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
