RE: (meteorobs) Lunar eclipse wipeout.
Clear and cold in Atlanta. Early in the partial phase there was an ice
crystal aura around the moon; this disappeared after about 45 minutes. At
total phase the moon was a nice brick red. My daughter (13 y.o.) reported
seeing a meteor just below the moon at about 11:30 EST. I was adjusting a
telescope mount at the time. The eclipse was an awesome sight.

Subject: (meteorobs) Lunar eclipse wipeout.
Hello folks,
This evening, I went all the way to the top of Haleakala to try to
escape the rain and photograph the lunar eclipse, but it was almost a
complete washout. I glimpsed the partial phase between clouds, but only
briefly, and always hazy. The total phase was invisible. Hawaii has been
in a wet weather pattern all week, and the prospects looked dim for
tonight, but I gave it my best shot, with no luck.
Anyone get clear weather for the eclipse?
Mike
