The eclipse has started in the midwest. It started at 7:43 pm central time, and gets over at 11:09 central time.
It looks cool, but it's coooold outside. I'll try to get some pics when more of it is covered.

I got to see about 1 minute of it-no time to get out the telescope (still packed up somewhere) but used binoculars...awesome! ran in to tell the guys to come look and by the time they got outside the clouds were covering it. Guess I yelled "lunar ecplise" just loud enough though-al our neighbors were out looking for it

p.s. also watched the shuttle landing (on TV) incredible.
I remember when space travel was science fiction.

We had very clear skies here last night. Took a couple pics with a regular digital camera and the moon looks like a red dot.
Next lunar eclipse Dec. 21, 2010.
