There is an eclipse going on! It is midway through for myself and those who live on the eastern seaboard.

Check here for the times:

My darned university has so much light pollution! Still, nice to see.

the one good thing about livin in the boondocks is i can always see the nice stars. It was an awesome eclipse.

It was snowing earlier in the evening so I figured I'd have 0% chance of seeing it - as is typical with astronomical events around here. When I glanced outside, I was quite surprised to see a clear sky and the moon halfway to totality.

Here's a picture I took. I wish the focus was better but it is tough to manually focus a DSLR on such dim objects.

Wow... Nice picture Gregoshi. It was foggy here in the Bay Area of California so I didn't bother to check it out(figured people'd post pictures of the event^)
