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

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.

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

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

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!
