Oh I'll see it here.  The weather this time of year is a cruel joke:  Overcast all day and clear at night.  I'l post some pics later on.

Nice and clear here in Chicago, I've got my telescope out and ready to go, I've never looked at a lunar eclipse through a telescope before.

Won't be able to see it, we're getting snow at a rate of 3 inches an hour here. :(

I'm trying to figure out how to do it IRL so I can stop getting stuck with the ugly friend.

For those of you with telescopes like myself I was just reading that we will get to see an extra treat, you will be able to see Saturn and the bright star Regulus on either side of the veiled full moon.  So if you want a great view of Saturns rings get the telescopes out.

Well I got my telescope out and for the first time I got to see Saturn with it, I have to say that is really cool to see, I could clearly make out the rings around it, very cool looking.  If any of you have telescopes I suggest you take a look at it, for those of you that have no telescopes you can still see it(not the rings ofcourse), theres 2 bright objects near it, Saturn is the one thats slightly below and to the left, the one almost right above it is the star Regulus.
