My take on the Eclipse

When I joined the show, it was still fairly cloudy. They were low clouds that looked like you could almost reach up and fan them out of the way. The moon was about 70 or 80% covered with a glowing edge, and a deep rusty hue. This was the first eclipse that I remembered to watch; I usually forget until a few days later. The clouds did finally blow off to the northeast, and I was able to get an unadulterated view of the moon and several bright stars for about 20 minutes.

It's too bad there won't be another one for two years.
