Just finished watching it, pretty cool, you could see bands of the milky way and a few constellations, provided theres no city light. Anyone else see it?

    I saw it... quite pretty... too bad I'm in a rather large city... right across the river from NYC... so yeah, ambient light is kinda severe around here... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, my astronomy class set up a bunch of telescopes so the public can come by and look.

    Stupid kids would run up to the telescope, grab it, and pull the eyepeice to their eyes. Then go "This sucks, I can't see anything!"

    lol, and some of the adults weren't much better. If the telescope was out of alignment, instead of saying something, 3 out of 5 would nod very frankly and go "Hmm... interesting.... yes....." like they could see something and then they'd walk away XD

    Stupid clouds came in though during the totality... they were thin and broken up though, so we could still see it pretty well

    Yea,lol, I can't stand when people do that, I tried to show my sister it, I gave her my binoculars, she took them looked at some odd spot in the sky and says "Wow that looks nice, yes very pretty" I'm like yea, thats a tree top. She got mad and went back inside. No one wants to make any effort <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Cloudless starry night here.

    I kinda live in the country, so I saw it pretty clear.

    Well, clouds don't like me I guess. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's been sunny and clear for almost a week now and, of course, tonight it got cloudy, just about an hour before the damn thing was suppose to begin. Curse you God, you've foiled my plans again. *shakes fist in the air*

    saw it 2x, a little after 8 EST and a little before 9 EST

    first, was a dark watery shading of the moon, later, very dark dark gray disk with a very brilliant sliver of light like a thin sparkling crescent moon.. except in the wrong place.

    it was cool, but when the moon turned dark all the lighting in ns_eclipse shut down so we played NS in pitch black <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
