Penumbral eclipse, anyone?

[orion25]

I tried to see the penumbral eclipse this morning, but the moon was too low on the horizon at the time. I did see our beautiful, large, looming satellite setting in the West and a gorgeous sunrise in the East at one of my favorite observing spots, so I can't complain  There was a magical mist on the pond, too!  Did anyone see the eclipse?

 

Cheers,

We're still laboring beneath the endless parade of clouds - and now snow is on the forecast.

There was a strange ball-of-light in the sky today - not sure what it could have been.....

You've got to come down South, dude. Or come with me out West to do some real astronomy, lol!

Mighty tempting, Reggie! But ever the optomist - it's got to get better eventually. Besides, Murphy's Law tells me if I went South or West, I'd bring a massive blizzard with me and bury half the nation like a news-story out of Buffalo, New York!

All the best -

Holy supernova!

I did in the past try to see a penumbral eclipse, but I couldn't really see anything with the naked eye. No doubt a camera would have picked up the subtle and gradual dimming of the moon
