Can you guys see it? If so, please upload some pics. It's snowing here; I can't see it at all.

I was just looking at it.

Dude, i seen this thread and jumped outside to see it. It was pretty cool. Then i came back inside to grab my phone to call a friend about it and when i steped back outside is was gone. I was like WTF man! Then before my eye's, it lit up again. Very cool stuff.

its strange that we as a race, hardly ever look up at the night sky anymore.

[edit]
it seems it was just some thick cloud cover off in the distance. It totally had me fooled!

I watched the whole thing... God I love astronomy!!!!!! If I dint like computers and cooking so much I would go in to astronomy!:banana:

[Mitternacht]

TAKE PICS OF IT!! I'm in the middle of a snowstorm where I'm at.

Just stepped out to see it. I showed my wife, She's never seen one before and thought it was pretty cool.

It was too cloudy here. :( My daughter wanted to take pics, but was disappointed.

[Crimson Sky]

I can see it clear as hell from New York---I don't have my tripod here so my pics came out blurry :( It's still about 90% eclipsed atm

[Drum Thumper]

It was roughly 40% eclipsed by the time we got over the Continental Divide. By the time we got to Great Falls it was 100%. Made for a cool drive home.

I was checkin it out with my scope. Tried getting some pics by sticking the camera up to the lens, but that didn't work. The GOOD camera should be here early next week.

If you want to take pictures with a telescope, set the camera to macro mode.... well I think that will work. I may experiment with it later.

[SgtM]

I tried that, but honestly, it was too cold for me to even try to hold the thing steady. I stayed out a total of about 15 minutes.

[Eclecticos]

Everyone around here when fishing last evening. . I Packed up about the time it was orange.

[Aero]

The clouds separated just as it was almost covered out here. It was pretty cool. I wish I had my telescope though, that would have made some sick photographs. Not that it would have mattered with Crimsons video...show off :P

[Mitternacht]

Managed to pull this shot off after the clouds moved away; just in time too.
