Yeah I heard that on the radio. Did they plan that or is it a coincedense?

Hope the sky clears up, It is raining like hell right now.

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 07:55 PM

Too bad we wont get to see either of them. :madd:

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 08:05 PM

lower right corner is covered currently

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 08:06 PM

Gee thanks buddy. :bat: :dd:

txwelder89 02-20-2008 08:07 PM

gotta love that crappy tulsa weather.... :argh:

ProspectorTim 02-20-2008 08:11 PM

We are overcast here. I can't see the moon or even a glow :(

Not sure if the moon is behind the clouds, or behind the SunTrust building that blocks my view to the east from the rooftop of our condo.

Anybody know if the shootdown will be visible from the USA tonight, and which way to look?

I hope it ain't East!

LOGANSTANFORTH 02-20-2008 08:13 PM

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 08:22 PM

ProspectorTim 02-20-2008 08:22 PM

You haven't missed it. It has just started, and will take a couple of hours from start to finish.

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 08:28 PM

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 08:51 PM

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

99.5% covered for us here now, and im getting the best pics i can

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 09:01 PM

Wednesday’s total eclipse phase will last nearly an hour. Earth’s shadow is expected to blot out the moon beginning around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m. on the East Coast. West Coast skygazers will miss the start of the eclipse because it occurs before the moon rises.
In Houston, the eclipse is exptected to begin at 9:01 p.m. and end at 9:51 p.m. The partial eclipse begins at 7:43 p.m. Wednesday and you can see the partial ending at 11:09 p.m.

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 09:04 PM

Thanks for the pics. Aaron, It is still raining heavy here.

TCU Fan 02-20-2008 09:30 PM

The computer does not do these pictures justice, I took them in High Definition and put them on the TV. Man it looks much better then it did live because of the zoom.

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 09:30 PM

Your supposed to be able to see Saturn and Regulus really good at full eclipse.

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 09:33 PM

does one of them show up as a small colored dot "a few inches" away from the moon????

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 09:47 PM

They are supposed to sandwich the moon and Saturns rings are supposed to be really bright. I think Regulus is red and its the brightest star in the constellation.

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 09:47 PM

small red dot?

DangerousDuramax 02-20-2008 09:47 PM

Probably need a telescope to see em.

LOGANSTANFORTH 02-20-2008 09:48 PM

i can see something at the 10-11 position....

CumminsCrazed 02-20-2008 09:56 PM

thats a star i think, its fairly bright here for us

LOGANSTANFORTH 02-20-2008 09:57 PM

ok, i really miss being back on the farm where its clear at night and there is NO lights.....

TCU Fan 02-20-2008 10:01 PM

Yep we have some lights here. Sorry I tried, short of shooting out all the street lamps.

LOGANSTANFORTH 02-20-2008 10:02 PM
