Eclipse???

Post by JimmyDreams »

Did anyone get any good views of the Lunar eclipse last night? I was in Atlanta, and Mother Nature didn't cooperate. I was able to catch a quick glimpse around 11:30, but just for a minute. I saw some pics of it on the internet though, and it looked pretty good.

Man, I was all set too. I had the Buffett playing, was smoking a nice cigar, and just sittin' outside sippin' some brew and waiting for the skys to clear. It just didn't happen.

Mother nature didn't cooperate for us Denver folks either!

Had to catch for a "different point of view" on the news!

Maybe in another 2 or 3 years :roll:

I was flying from LA to Boston last night. The pilot stated that the eclipse was about to begin! I caught the whole thing! It was so weird to be watching it while I was flying! :D

Seriously, what a kick in the nuts from mother nature. That hag has ruined more than a few of my good times!

Nashville was crystal clear. Man I want to go to a Cheeseburger in Paradise. Are they cool? You guys should see my grandfather. He goes through the whole motions. He gets his telescope out, times the eclispe, goes through all sorts of girations and thing ah mum boos, calls us all outside to watch. He's a retired engineer so astronomy is his outlet he says. It's pretty funny to watch :wink:

I saw it on the flight back from DC last night - only for a while when we flew above the clouds. For all weeks not to have my camera. . :(

Next chance. . 11/8/2003. Sigh. . my mind is filled with useless trivia!

Got to see a min or 2 here and there through the clouds. They are calling for another one in November this year. Hope it's a good clear one. :o

Tough luck there....I was at the extreme northern end of Fulton County and saw it as clear as it could be. The only cloud cover came in just as it ended....perfect moment. First one I've seen that clearly. A definite "moon song" night!
If you're going to do nothing at least do it at the beach!
