It was the best possible viewing conditions at my house - crisp, clear, no trees and late enough that a lot of city lights were off. In fact, i don't think i have ever seen so many stars over my house.
So beautiful and still.
The moon was high in the sky directly over Orion, coppery orange and darkening when i went outside. The clearness of the sky, the chill in the air, the creeping shadow of the Earth: it all felt like a movie. I watched totality through binoculars. It was amazing and made me feel small, in a good way. I took pictures to post for you:
yeah... about that... |

I woke up at 4:oo Am and went out, but Arbutus is so bright and dirty I couldn't find the moon, and it was probably over by then. I'm happy you got to enjoy it!
Someone on the radio was talking about it's pointless for some people to see it cuz of where they live, so it's good that we live in an age where you can just go online the next day and watch the video.
