Dottleshead ★ Posted July 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2020 Tonight? How the heck you going to catch it through all the smoke of the illegal fireworks your neighbors are setting off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted July 4, 2020 I guess it’s partial, not a total. I’m sure by 11 nobody will still blowing off fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 5, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2020 Well shit. The top part is sposed to be shadowed but the damn thing still looks bright and full to me. I can never see this astronomical shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted July 5, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 5, 2020 I gave it one last check around 11:45, and it looked full. Too tired to stay awake to check again. Dammers. @RalphWaldoMooseworth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted July 5, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 5, 2020 @MickinMD will explain it better but it was a penumbra so like a dimming not a darkening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a partial, not total eclipse. So I saw a diagram that shows the partial shadow moving across the top from left to right but I couldn’t see any difference atoll on the actual moon, and we had a clear night.
