Thanks for the heads up.

It sucks being that late. I go on duty in the morning. Perhaps try.

90% chance of snow overnight here, so I am guessing the Chicago area won't see a thing. :(

Snowing here right now, and supposed to go straight through to tomorrow. Bummer, I would certainly check this out if I could.

[jesseboston81]

Snow forecasted here in the Northeast as well... I hope someone gets to see this eclipse!

[Zeuceone]

Raining over here, but I might go up the mountains to see if I can get above the clouds.

[McSmokey]

According to the Futurecast on our local weather it's supposed to be completely clouded over but I'm gonna stay up for it anyway in hopes.

[Zeuceone]

Quick bump. Hopefully someone takes a picture

[akumushi]

We're in the middle of a week long tropical rainstorm that pretty much makes my chances of catching this thing null. :sad
Sounds very cool though.

[themoneycollector]

Just checked outside and it's starting to show

[Wolfgang]

Im already freezing my nutz off ready to shoot. Pictures later (perhaps in the morning). Crystal clear skies tonight.

[MedicCook]

I can see it a little so far. There is a slight cloud haze with some flurries.

All I see is clouds :(

[Wolfgang]

220am pictures taken have to wait for edit.

[MedicCook]

Thanks for the pics. Too much cloud cover here.

[Ratters]

Yup, clouds here too. :(

[MedicCook]

Yup, clouds here too. :(

It is a conspiracy I think.

[pennjones]

I am outside watching it every 20 minutes or so, but no camera to take a picture. Hopefully you guys get to see this, because it is AWESOME!

[Wolfgang]

computer then postable compression make this fairly unusable. You get the idea ill tinker more later. 2:45AM Eastern

These could have been so much nicer. I have a Manfrotto tripod and an 80-200 2.8 sitting under the tree but I couldnt open them to use tonight.

Me "Can I please use them then they go right back in the box?"
Dad "no."
Me "But this wont happen again for another 500 years!!!"
Dad "Stop exaggerating"

:sad:sad:sad

Man those are still good. Thanks for posting.

Zeuceone,

Thanks so much for posting the schedule! I was afraid I was going to miss this, but I was able to set my alarm and get up for some portions that I wanted to see.

Wolfgang,

Great pictures! Thank you!

[alley00p]

Great pics!

It was overcast this morning, but the sunrise was great with red clouds. It's a great morning so far!

[jesseboston81]

Glad to see that at least someone got to enjoy the eclipse and snapped some pics. I didn't even bother staying up due to the thick cloud cover we've got over here.
