The eclipse of the Supermoon is 99% complete.
We have a light cloud layer which interferes a bit but it is still visible.
I'd love to be able to see it with clear skies though.

Missed it completely - it's been overcast and raining the entire night here.
Got a call last night from Mom, advising me " not to look at the blood Moon, as those who do it, are unable to sleep".
Ummm, yes? If I'm looking at the moon, I'm definitely not sleeping.
If you are going through hell - keep going
I did. My spot in the world was considered PRIME viewing. Clear skies... pretty cool... wasn't BLOWN away but pretty cool none the less.

It was cool.
As the eclipse progressed, the moon slowly disappeared until it was completely dark. Perhaps it was the light clouds, but I couldn't see the moon at all. It then slowly turned red until it was again a full moon but a dim dark red like drying blood.
I can now understand why people sacrificed virgins to appease the gods.

I wish I could have seen it, but a cloud layer blocked it most of the time.

I saw it...then I didn't...then I did again...then I didn't.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Watched it last night, I thought it was pretty cool. We had perfectly clear skies for it. I was wondering when it was going to turn red, and about a little after half way thru you could see the other half of the moon turning a faint red which only got brighter as the rest disappeared. I didn't hear about it till that day though so I wasn't prepared with my telephoto lens, so unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it.

Yes...and sadly I broke my tripod and my urologist was out of town.
Thank you!
I'll be here all week!
Try the veal!
But seriously...it is broken. The low light shots are tough without it. It was a good show for great shots!

I noticed it was reddish when it was about a quarter eclipsed. The "Blood Moon" aspect really hit at full eclipse though.
I should have been prepared too. I have a telescope that I haven't used in a while.

It was pretty cool. It was very red here in DE. None of my photos came out though.

No pics here either - but we did get a nice view out here in kelowna, B.C. - while on vacation

It's an epidemic!!
I got stuck in a brier patch (if you call 3 acres a patch) and had to use it as a machete to get out.
What happened to yours, Heather?

Nothing too exciting. I was readjusting the height of my tripod and one of the snaps clipped

LOL...yes...but that is hell on the back. I know the issue. Those clips are so cheaply made! As if you only take ONE pic at full extension. LOL
I should design my own! I already have the perfect idea.
