It's overcast down here in Dallas - we can't see jack. So I appreciate that photo a lot.

5. Oh how awful

It's freezing cold here but DH is a major astronomy freak so he is running in and out of the house taking pictures with every camera we have. He is out there with my iphone now. LOL

9. Looks Like Out My Front Door

I just popped some shots as well...a nice and clear and fuckin' cold night here in Chicago. The moon is east/southeast and not a cloud in the sky.

Enjoy!!!

(We've got Pink Floyd on here tonight...with s little Redbone, Genesis (Mad Man Moon) and Santana's Moonflower...)

10. Just went into totality here in N. Texas. Kinda cloudy so it's

not as great a show :(. Oh well, maybe next time in 2010.

11. Why does it have stripes?

Beautiful picture. I can't see the moon tonight.

12. It's called the "tiger moon"

happens every February of every year divisible by 8.

[NYC]

15. So it has nothing to do with the eclipse?

I didn't know about that. I'll have to look for the moon over the next few days to see if I can see the stripes.

Thanks for the info. :hi:

16. I'm pulling your leg

I'm just being a goof. :hi:

I think the lines are branches from a tree that was in the way of the picture taker's view of the moon.

21. I believed you.

I was going to be watching every eight years. :)

It's a fascinating shadow. Makes a nice picture.
