1. Awesome, I am pulling for you!
Definitely cloudy here, unfortunately. Your moon pictures are better than mine anyway.

Good luck.

3. It's not looking good here...
I have everything packed and ready to go out the door as soon as it clears; however it's begun to snow lightly...

Good luck, great shot!

4. It's very cloudy here, but that makes it more interesting.
The patterns of the clouds moving across the moon is magical. My camera doesn't take great night shots, so I'm not sure what I'll do.

Here is one I did at night with clouds. It isn't a great photo, but you get an idea of how full moon and clouds can be interesting.

5. For those that want to play the Home Edition
This is my EXIF. I really don't 'do' Moon, so I just winged it.



I think I need to go with a longer focal length.



Still clear. Lookin' good. Green light.

This is the last shot I was able to get before the gathering fog obscured my view. It was wonderful to watch.

20. That would do it for me too.
Share our photos and tell her she too can say she was there and awake. Hope you had a nice night of one on one talking and enjoying each other. May she never go through the eww its my parents phase. Beyond that it looked like any other full eclipse, just seemed to take longer though that might of been the cold. Give her a :hug: too. If she is really be interested in the science you can always find her the stories on the people that tried to prove the theory of relativity. Might make you both feel better and is interesting.
