Same, right on the line in MA. The part in green is near the city so I doubt I'll see much. It's okay though, I got a really good light show in Iceland!

I remember a map last year for that big flare, had NJ in the green. We went out to this lake in the woods as far away from light sources as possible and sat there for 5 hours getting eaten alive waiting to see something. Fuck those maps, fuck their lies.
That might have been a bigger flare too.
Bump
Lunar Eclipse on October 8th. It starts at 4:16am EDT with totality at 6:25am EDT
Nice! I was thinking of imaging this one but it's a worknight and it starts at 1am here and goes on until 5am (start to finish) so I am going to most likely sit this one out plus I'm on an Astrophogoraphy break until I pull the trigger and get a new mono CCD cam for planetary work.
Also forgot to mention we get a Solar Eclipse on the 23rd of October view able in North America. Starts a little after 1pm Pacific.

I am right on the edge of the red
If you are on the east coast, the maximum will be at 5:45pm so the sun should still be up. I think sunset will be around 6:15 on the 23rd.
Ignore me -__- derped

The next few nights are going to be a good time to catch Comet Lovejoy.

Would love to if the windchill wasnt -20 tonight @_@
Getting excited about summer coming up again, I didn't end up using my telescope last summer as much as I wanted to, but hoping to get into it a lot more this year.
Bump! Super moon lunar eclipse in about 10 minutes. Don't miss out unless you feel like waiting til 2033 for the next one.
We watched it for a while tonight. Looked pretty fucking cool
Mountains to the east, can't see shit yet.
Sky is cloudy as fuck here in NY, cannot see shit.
Managed to see it, though it was right after the total eclipse ended... thanks mountains.
and a big fuck you to space.com for saying it would rise in the east. it was to the southish. >
honerary fuck yous to the giant spider hovering over the road, trying to capture prey 10000000x its size, the anthill right where i sat down, night blindness for making me trip and fall in a pothole created from the storm we had a couple weeks ago, and my phone for utterly failing to capture a picture of the moon that was more than a blurry red dot.
Looked pretty nice from here. No good pics myself, but they were better than 99% of the iphone trash on facebook. One person posted a really nice on though
Clear skies here 90% of the time, cloudy tonight through most of the eclipse. Got to see it near the end at least.
