I See The Eclipse!

**Holly** · 10-27-2004, 05:35 PM

I *just* went outside and looked right before I read this thread. I was about to start one asking if anyone can see it, lol.

It's cloudy here and I can't see shit.

The moon looks like it's really bright. There's still a lot of light peeking through but the clouds are blocking it. I hope it clears up in the next 2-3 hours.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 05:38 PM

Would someone kindly go over to AaronM's house and show him where the eclipse is? I want him to take pictures and he can't seem to locate it where he is....

**HAPPYPEEKERS** · 10-27-2004, 05:39 PM

It is too cloudy here tonight

Holly....for me, this is very exciting...we so rarely get a clear, cloudless night...and the moon is so very huge and full....it is enormous and gorgeous..

I'm sorry you can't see it....

This is too cool....it's almost half covered.....I've got to go watch it.

I'm a virgo. Ruled by the lunar tides....compelled to watch....

**swoop** · 10-27-2004, 05:48 PM

Can see it every once in awhile in the break in the clouds.

**psyko514** · 10-27-2004, 05:50 PM

I can see it. Wasn't there one about 18 months ago? I got pics somewhere...

It's a huge yellow ball. With clear skies...he should be able to find it....

**smokingdawn** · 10-27-2004, 05:59 PM

I can see it here also

**Furious_Male** · 10-27-2004, 06:01 PM

I can see it between low altitude cloud passings.

Damn digital camera is not working right for me. Trying to fix it now.

Not when there are trees all around my house.

I got some pics...Let's see how they turned out. They probably suck because I did not think to grab a tripod and cable release.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 06:04 PM

Try to get pics...the next one isn't due until march of 2007.

Excuses, excuses.....this thread is useless without pics...LOL

**Fake Nick** · 10-27-2004, 06:05 PM

it is now or march 2007 ! if you don't go see it now you will have to wait a looooooooong time

over here you cant watch it becasue of the clouds

**Holly** · 10-27-2004, 06:08 PM

Shit. I'm gonna miss the whole thing. I can't even see enough light to tell where the moon is, now.

I read this earlier, so I was excited:

"The best chances of a good view will be in northeast New York, most of New England, along the Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, and over much of Washington State and northwest Oregon."

I'm down in the Gulf Coast/panhandle area so I thought I was going to get a really good view.

**Steen2** · 10-27-2004, 06:11 PM

I see a moon that is mostly dark.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 06:18 PM

I've been watching it since 6:15 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. It's almost totally covered now.....at 7:18 p.m.

**foolio** · 10-27-2004, 06:20 PM

damm of all the days for rain here in SoCal

**MindWaste** · 10-27-2004, 06:27 PM

That "dirty red moon" looks pretty killer through the right telephoto lens.

Pics in a bit.......

Keep in mind that I did this for you.....And in the process...I somehow fucked my main computer up.

Trying to recover it now.

**Top_Floor** · 10-27-2004, 06:34 PM

a little hazy by me but can still see it, cooool!

Very cool, baddog....

**baddog** · 10-27-2004, 06:41 PM

yeah I could have been better, but I was talking on the phone at the time I took the pics with a hand held camera

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 06:50 PM

I think you did great!

**AaronM** · 10-27-2004, 06:51 PM

5 pics at various camera settings. Enjoy.

BTW...These were all taken after the eclipse was done as far as the naked eye could see. I went back out with a tripod and cable release.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 06:52 PM

My hero....

**xclusive** · 10-27-2004, 06:54 PM

I'm looking at it thinking this sucks the moon is beautiful and it's being covered...

Worry not. It's temporary.

I think your camera has a better zoom than mine

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 07:01 PM

I hate to sound so child-like and over enthusiastic...but, I feel almost giddy....since it's been like ten years since we've had clear skies ...

So, I think you're both wonderful.

**flashfire** · 10-27-2004, 07:02 PM

I saw it clearly, very cool

**AaronM** · 10-27-2004, 07:10 PM

You may be right about that. Perhaps you should have stolen it when you had the chance.

**BrettJ** · 10-27-2004, 07:11 PM

can't see it from the office... first hill and the other office buildings are blocking it...

=(

**Trixxxia** · 10-27-2004, 07:18 PM

Wow amazing pictures!! The ones I took suck donkey balls! I even took a video - Lord knows what it looks like......let me go check it. Aaron, yours ROCK!

You didn't know that it rained in the NorthWest? Rain = clouds. You do the math.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 07:20 PM

You're bad, Mr. M.....

baddog....this time of year is our rainy season.....from about two weeks ago until June-ish..

We rarely have clear skies, until around July...then, it's like the Universe apologises..there are no bluer skies than here....during the summer.

**Raven** · 10-27-2004, 07:24 PM

Let me clarify that.

We rarely have clear skies..... 24 hours straight...especially during this season...we can have sixteen weather changes a day.

I did not know it rained every day for the last 10 years, no

Obviously you need to pay better attention then. How many times have I told you the weather here sucks? Now you know why.

It's not the kind of rain that most people understand...we kind of call it pissing...it changes hour by hour...the skies can be grey and then a whole different shade...it can downpour for fifteen minutes and then go back to pissing..

Then, the sun comes out for a while and then it leaves.

Very changeable....Vancouver is similar...in B.C.

Has something to do with the two mountain ranges...Puget sound and I forget. Tev knows. He's native here.

Hell, baddog...took me four years to adjust to this weather...it's like no other....

I See The Eclipse!
