Lucked out here in Toronto. Clouded over just as it started, but cleared when half-covered. Should start coming back out just as it sets.

The stars were brilliant after the eclipse totalled and the sky darkened. Great looking even if a little low in the western sky this time.

It was clear here in MS. Watched it through my 50X Nikons.
Wished I had had my dad’s telescope though.

Moon going below tree line here in eastern NC. Got lucky and clouds cleared out for good view. Seems darker than last eclipse, I suppose because moon was near perigree.

Watched it while here at work near Waynesboro, GA. Got a full view despite the artificial lighting.

Watching it at 6 am Eastern

Only slim cresant left

At totality (6:25am) moon was dull orange, but was getting lost in the low cloud cover

After that lost sight of it

Was a bit cloudy in CT, thank-you to those who were able to take the picture of the moon early this morning.

I just went back outside...just coming out of “totality” now...still 40 degrees off the horizon here on the West Coast.

Clear, starry night here. Missed the best part caught most of it.

Had a clear view here in the Houston area. I kept going out and checking on it from about 5:50 A.M. until it was no longer visible. Pretty cool. Primitive peoples probably freak out when they see stuff like that.
