My eldest son and daughter are going to an observatory to watch it. Hopefully it will be clear tonight north of ATL.

Here's hoping.

Hope we have a clear night - it's snowing right now. We almost always miss the good meteor showers because of cloudy skies  |

I have beautiful view of the moon from my office window. Perhaps it will stay this way through the eclipse!

Ok now that was spooky, DW and I go outside to see the Partial Eclipse as we are in the MST and live out in a brand new subdivision with very few houses built so far and we hear Coyotes  Yelping at the top of their lungs coming closer and closer to us. Needless to say our stroll outside was a little brief.

We've got a good view from our backyard.

The snow stopped and the sky cleared just in time. We had to walk a ways in order to see it above the mountain to our East.

Our snow stopped too, and the skies cleared just in time for a magnificent show. It was breathtaking.

It rained all evening in Monroe, LA. It stopped around 9:00 but the sky was overcast. Oh well, I was blessed to see one in college a few years ago.

We had light snow here in the late afternoon, but the sky started to clear up around 7pm. Some of the grandchildren came over, along with other friends of our children, to experience the event together. I set up a couple telescopes and had a pair of binoculars, so we all got a pretty good look. It was truly beautiful. We also got to see Saturn, Mars, and the Orion Nebula.
Here's one picture I took through my 8" SCT. It was just after the start of totality.

If ya noticed, just to the SW of moon (at least in ATL), if ya held your right hand out where ya locked your elbow and made a backwards L with your hand and thumb, you would have seen Saturn.
