Good luck to observers!

Right now in Thornton there is substantial cloud cover, with a few holes. I may go out periodically to see what there is to see, but have no high hopes.

It is at the edge of thin cloud cover here in Bedford, MA. Looks clear to the NW.

Clear up here in E Hampstead NH- looks cool from the backyard deck....

It looks nice from the roof deck here in Boston

Amazing view of it from cold, clear Rochester, NY

Fabulous view from SE NH.

Very, very nice from Waltham, Mass., where the skies are fine. Winter lunar eclipses are nostalgic for me, ever since experiencing one on the slopes of Mount Jefferson in the early morning hours of January 30, 1972, on a south-north Presi traverse. Wonder if there is anyone on the northern Presi's tonight, albeit probably in the clouds.

Clear skies all around me. Stunning. It's turning red. A nice pair of binoculars is great!

 

[sapblatt]

incredible here as well - a lot less haze this time of year - I am about 10 miles from Boston - nicest one I have seen in years

In spite of too many neighborhood lights, the skies are clear as a bell, and the show is spectacular here in the Albany Capital District. Hope Edelweiss's pics come out!

 

[DougPaul]

It has cleared here (Bedford, MA).

The pics are looking good on the camera display. We will have to see when I get them into the computer.

Lunar Eclipse photos.

Saturn to the left and below the moon and Regulus in the constellation Leo above the moon in some of the shots. A perfect night for viewing the skies. I shut off my outside lights and took these shots from my driveway. Now I want to get a bigger lens.

Not too shabby from America's Hometown

I've never seen it so clear & bright & 3-dimensional!

There'll be better pictures, I'm sure, but it looks like this from Kingston, NH. I'm guessing it does where you are, too?

Here's my hubby's best shot

I think it came out pretty good, but he says I'm biased.
