Orange moons scare the crap out of me.

I don't have the proper photographic equipment for this kind of thing, so it's a bit blurry even with my tripod, but here you go:

The sky had perfect timing, it was dead clear during the totality and then got overcast again once it went back to partial.

And some illustrations of what happens when you forget to use a tripod:

My scout troop tonight was pretty much focused on it. I mostly stayed inside, but I did go outside every once in a while. It was interesting.

Meh, I actually want to see another solar eclipse, myself. Haven't seen one in years.

I couldn't see it. The sky was covered with clouds last night...

I tried to go out and see it, but we've been having a serious cold snap up here, and I don't like the idea of being out in the snow in single-digit temperatures in the middle of February with the wind blowing.

It was nice and clear here. It looked awesome. Luckily it stopped raining long enough to get a good look at it.
