I got up at 3:45 am with the hopes of seeing it and clouds! Socked in. 😭😭😭 One good thing I got my laundry done! Have a great day all.

Up at 4:30 and caught a glimpse of it through the trees. We are in a heavily wooded area, so, by then, it was too far down in the sky to get a good look through all the branches.

The universe and it workings are endlessly fascinating.

ABSOLUTELY!

Woke up at 12:30am - moon out, no clouds but eclipse had not started

Back up at 2:15am - cloudy - BUMMER!

Check every 15 minutes or so - still cloudy - BUMMER!

3:30 got dressed to go out to walk and about 4am it started to clear off and BINGO

It was just starting to come out of maximum coverage

Although eclipse is done the moon is just setting and so beautiful

So happy to get to see it

Yes, I got up just in time to see the peak. It was amazing. Definitely worth being a bit tired over! It's just not the same in a photo.

So lucky to have clear skies over night. The fullest part of the partial eclipse was at about 3:00AM here. And since I am in the trees, it occurred high enough in the sky that I got a good look at it!

I tried to get a picture, but it did not come out.

I got up and went outside at about 230. It was beautiful. The moon was a rusty color with the brilliant crescent along the side. It was COLD outside but worth it. I'm always tossing and turning half the night anyway.😕

I was up at 4am this morning and saw it as the moon had turned red and I got a picture of it. There were also so many stars out. It was a beautiful sky. It was worth dealing with a few minutes of cold weather to see it.

No. I don't believe my area would have had a clear and full view according to the earlier weather reports.

For those who did enjoy watching, that's great!

Rain and cloud cover where I am, but I did see the end of it. It seems like whenever there is anything special going on in the sky at night, our area has heavy cloud cover.

We always cloud over so I don't bother getting up anymore.
