I'll keep my eye out for that mate

, but I doubt we'll see it because of the cloud cover

Benner · **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2008, 11:10:47 AM

Yeah it's been really foggy here the last few evenings. I will have a look though.

Cheers for the heads up!

We have another storm heading for us so I'll probably miss it.

Yep. It looks like we're going to get a load of ice again. sheesh....

It's getting old isn't it? We're a quarter inch away from being the wettest February on record. I would be surprised if we didn't make it.

Viewing is looking kind of iffy here in the Mid-Ohio Valley,snow again.

more...almost there.

There we go, total eclipse. The last pic was blurry to the camera fighting for a source of light. Overall I think they turned out rather well. Now we get to enjoy it for the next 45 mins or so

Nice shots David, way better equipment then me! Defs are better too!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:16:32 AM

Nice!

WhichDawg · **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:17:30 AM

the peek should be at 26 past the hour (soon) for the best eclipse shots.

David Bowen · **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:18:26 AM

Lets try a bigger file, trying not to swamp you guys down with dialup.

David Bowen · **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:21:43 AM

Here is the moon before it went dark, I know it was going to look great, it was wicked bright.

I just got a couple before the clouds moved in. Saturn is to the left and Regulus is above the moon.

WhichDawg · **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:57:45 AM

nice shots guys! my lens sucks, and my camera isn't for this either. one day

WhichDawg · **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:59:31 AM

take a look to the south, at the brightest star, if you have binoculars or your good lens, you can see a star that looks like a police light on, blues and whites and reds! it's pretty cool, I think it's sirus, looks like a UFO!

ducktapehero · **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:31:55 AM

The sky was cloudy here. Stupid winter storm.

I'm Still Bison · **Reply #26 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:42:49 AM

I got lucky,the cloud cover broke enough for me to watch through totality.I'm 51 yrs old,and have seen a lot in my time,and eclipses still fascinate me.

WhichDawg · **Reply #27 on:** February 21, 2008, 06:46:43 AM

it was pretty interesting, I'm with you Bman, it was fun.

prime77 · **Reply #28 on:** February 21, 2008, 07:43:42 AM

Great shots guys. I was able to sneak a couple of looks while at work.
