Nice lime! This is about as far as it got here... hopefully there will be a full eclipse sometime soon which will really be exciting!

Love that shadows pic TOG

 

[limeslide]

Wow, even the glare is crescent! LOL

Can anyone identify these two heavenly bodies (*snicker)? Mercury and Venus?

Ya those two are possibly mercury and venus since venus is close to transiting the sun in a few days which is a lot rarer then this (hopefully can get some pics uploaded of that too)

 

[adnedarn]

Alright everyone! Here is my whole progression as the day went by. The last one is when some trees were starting to interfere with my view, but cool anyway! Each is clickable if you wish to see it larger. Enjoy

Not going to read this whole thing.

My experience: After seeing this thread, I looked at the sun and it was really bright. There was nothing in front of it to block it from shining in my eyes. I was very disappointed and couldn't see much.

maybe you should have read the whole thing..
you could have learned how to observe the eclipse, and you wouldn't have been disappointed.

I saw it! I saw it!

Yeah, in hindsight that would have been a good idea.

Thanks for the pictures!! At times like this it is a bummer living on the east coast.

You'll only be able to notice the sun getting darker during a full eclipse when all you can see are the fiery edges of the sun and all the plasma spewing off of it. Hopefully we'll get one of those soon .

You folks took some great shots. Thanks for letting use "easterners" in on the show.

 

[larry]

Neat, I went outside a few minutes too late and caught the tail end of it.

 

[nightsky]

I missed most of it as it was overcast. But the clouds did allow me to see for just a few minutes and I was able to get a shot. It peaked at about 90% in this area but it was obscured at that point.

 

[Peatmoss]

THAT! Is a winning shot!
