did anyone see it in the portland metro area? was really cool and lasted for hours from start to finish.

nope, I was stuck in the middle of a hellhole of fluorescent lighting and endless isles of torn open packaging strewn randomly amongst the other products.

sahweeet! And Saturn could be seen right below it!

Oh great, I missed it.

But I have seen it years ago, unexpected, huge and right in front of my eyes, when I was doing some writing in my attic room in a farmhouse. And boy was that a scary sight, the whole moon turned blood red that day, when it was totally darkened. I wondered then, if that powerful image was how the manipulators in the old days managed to scare people into believing they had to pay up or dye, and that it would stay like that forever if they did not believe in... whatever the bad guys wanted you to believe at the time..... Because even though I knew what it was, I sure was impressed by this sudden powerful change!

Come to think of it, that eclipse was at this time of year then as well.

man i'm sorry for those of you that missed it but it was really cool i took out my crappy ass telescope thats as old as me and looked at it i've never seen that many stars here most of them get drowned out by the city lights really neat to see.

I set my alarmclock at 3:15, but there were clouds over Vienna (or over my eyes) This one was the last until 2015 where I live.

dude hanaus that sux shit i just walked out my door and saw the night wasn't like usuall loked up and there it was really crazy thing to see in the city.

know what, thanks to photoshop, I can make my own eclipses!

First of all you spelled ECLIPSE wrong

I saw some of it, but was really boring. Wake me up when a Solar Eclipse happens.

ne ner ne ner ne ner

(sharpened in ps3)

(unprocessed)

not the best pic but here's three stages of it last night. Enjoyed watching it.

From Maryland last night

Wish my camera was that good.
I don't have that kinda zoom power.

Because we have a loft, I was able to view the entire thing from the comfort of my living room. While it was 4°F outside last night.
