I think Umah this has to be the first time for Michigan it's actually been clear to see it. :p

I watched it with my dad, who said that it would probably be his last time seeing it in his lifetime.


"It's all yours now, Meghan," he said.

The best one I saw was about eight or so years ago. It was really clear.

I got out my old dusty telescope and managed to make some pics throught it. It was really beautiful to see the red/purple shade of color during the completed eclipse.

Wow! Fascinating pictures there DriberBallZ! :) Good Work! I didn't hear much about this Lunar Eclipse because it was not in our 'area' of observation. :p

That telescope of yours doesn't look too old or dusty at all! I mean the picture of the telescope itself shows that it is nice and shiny :) ... but thats probably because of the flash from the camera.

lol, you must be kidding me. just look at the dark "clean" patches on the "tube" that show where I touched the telescope to pick it up :D
