I wanted to watch the eclipse. However it was nice and cloudy here in Michigan.

I watched it... playing Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon."

thats a real nice shot, Sparky, I got a couple half decent ones, wish I had a telescope to hook it up to though.

Cool pictures.

Looks good!
It was pretty cloudy out for me, so not much was seen.
There was a really good one back in Septemberish I think that was fantastic looking tho and I saw that one at least.

Great pictures guys!

Wow, three pages and no Uranus jokes.... I am disappointed

It was what S7G refered to as "booger cracking cold" at my place, so the sky was crystal clear. Moon was beautiful.

Rachel and I could see it from our bedroom window, right before retiring for the evening..

Didn't get as deep of red as I thought it would, more of a burnt orange.

Still pretty cool.

I'm teaching a directed study in astrophotography this semester. My student sent me this one today:

It was taken in Bridgewater, MA. through a 14" Meade Lx200 using a Meade DSLR II (I'm not sure if he was using the color or monochrome with filters.)

He's processing more

I was lucky. Perfectly clear skies yielded some great photos.

An 8 second shutter was extremely hard to keep perfectly still, even with a cheap flimsy tripod.

EDIT: huh. the above photo looks like an exact copy of the picture of my moon, except in more detail. I like it.
