Minnesota Moon Eclipse - 2021

[Bob Israel]

Not my best but recorded! I meant to set my rig up for this shot before going to bed on the off chance I would wake up for this event. I didn't do that. Fortunately, my wife woke me up at 2:30 but now I had to scramble a bit. Taken from my driveway in suburban Minneapolis where it's 22 deg F.

Beautiful, it was too cloudy here.

Nice, Bob. No color was visible here in CO when I looked @ 12:30-1:30, but I was expecting it to be too cloudy to see anything, so I guess it was still a plus.

Wow Bob! You have an awesome wife!

This looks great! I had my tracker set up and was going to capture it from Beginning to end for a Timelapse. When it got to about the 25% range the very thin clouds turned to very thick clouds and that was it. I did sit in my lawn chair with a bag of popcorn for another hour just to see if maybe it would pop out at the 97% eclipse mark, but nothing. The popcorn did taste good though, so it wasn’t a complete loss.

Glad you enjoyed the popcorn . . . at least there was that! haha.
