3. My dear bluesbassman!
My god, how awesome!

That first one really looks like a sphere, which is hard to achieve!

And the colors!

WOW.

The second one is also wonderful, with all the rich dark colors...

I'm so glad I stayed up to see these...

Thank you!

You might consider posting these in the Photo forum. They really appreciate good photography. You can tell them I sent you, lol!

4. Beautiful!
In northern New York it was too overcast to see anything but it did get very dark.

7. We got lucky here. It's been storming for three days straight.
I was working late and when I came home the skies had cleared.

Glad you liked the shots. :hi:

I've been watching, but I don't have a telescope or a nifty camera or binoculars.

Yay you and thanks for sharing!

9. Thank you!
Just seeing it was amazing. I woke my 15 year old daughter up to see it and she was speechless. No mean trick for her let me tell you! :rofl:
