5. You're welcome!

I was a little worried that we were going to have some cloud cover, but it cleared up nicely. Glad you enjoyed the pic.

7. That makes me feel better because I failed to look for it.

Maybe I could not have seen it anyway. So, one less reason to feel guilty this morning. Wheeeee. Only 99 to go!

23. I sit corrected

There are moments. Few of them, but they do make up for the missed ones. There is a clear winter night sky, "My God, it's full of stars."

8. Saw it this morning in WV

'Twas a great birthday present! Seems I always miss these events due to bad weather or cloud cover so this is the first time in ages Mother Nature smiled upon me.

11. Me, too, here in Upstate NY!

I can't recall ever seeing one live before, so this was pretty cool!

24. Happy Birthday

This is a good sign

29. Thanks -- I hope so!

Having a "blood moon" appear on your birthday sounds rather ominous!

I stayed up for it but couldn't get off a decent pic. Clear night and great view here in NE Ohio.

Thanks!

16. Thank you for posting that beautiful shot.

I think a blood moon is the epitome of eerie, and you've caught that. IRL, it gives me the willies. There's something primal still left in me, I guess.

17. I was able to see it this morning,

here in Indiana. Was beautiful!

26. Beautiful picture!

5 of us got on our bicycles at 5 am and rode straight west from western suburbs directly at it for about 15 miles. Others turned around and I went on to work in St. Charles. Impressive ride to aim right at the blood moon in a clear sky and watch the eclipse slowly occur.

27. Great shot - we lucked out here

The rain and clouds were clearing by the start ~5 am and were gone by the peak here in Philly (where I live) and I got to see it clearly.
