Perfect weather for it here where I am. Supposed to be visible all over north America depending on weather. We have perfectly celar skies. Got to watch the whole thing disappear a little at a time. Right now it's fully ocullted (is that the word? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ). Looks wierd. Very dim.

I wanted to see it. But nooo it has to be cloudy tonight; which sucks. So I'm missing all the action! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Got a good view here from Montreal; although made telescope-watching hell, with all this wind.

Now, All I have to see is now the annular solar eclipse coming to NW canada on may 31st http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm in the same boat as Tesco, rain with 100% cloud cover http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . I wished it had happened Last night, it was a nice and almost full moon directly in front of my apartment window.

What are all you people doing up in the middle of the night - get to bed, and let us people on the other side of the world work... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Unless you wanted a shot of the moon almost eclipsed...but I don't have a digital camara http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I'm sure you can find photos of it from the AP, though... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Even with full eclipse, Moon is still visiable, but it is bloody red (refraction of light in Earth atmosphere before reflection from Moon surface). Too bad it was raining here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
