Just an FYI.

Info from Sky and telescope. east coast USA times - UTC- 3:01 to 3:31.

should be a good one if we get a clear sky here in PA.

GOOD DX!.

The 20 FEB 2008 Lunar Eclipse an Eye Ball Report :
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...2008Feb21.html

First we had Clouds Overcast and could not see the
Moon; let along the any Stars in the Night Sky.

Plus the position of the Moon at 7 PM PST was still
down below the Tree Tops.

But from 6:30 ~ 7:30 PM PST we could slowly see the
amount of Moon Glow coming through the Clouds
slowly decreasing and then slowly increasing.

Presently at Midnight PST the Moon is directly overhead
and brightly shining through thin Clouds with a Halo; and
there are many Stars in the Sky.

our eclipse was eclipse and that wast that ~ RHF
