I'm looking forward to this. I've had a very hard time trying to find information on it for viewers in Asia, though. I've tried both English and Korean sources and haven't come up with anything that would tell me the exact times for my area. |

Thanks for the info, Tao. I was able to find details for other Asian locations, but not Korea. I guess this means that there is no English info available on Korea yet. I was unable to find any in Korean because of the complete suckiness of Korean search engines. Once you get more than one term in a search, it just goes bananas. The search engines don't recognize quotes, so you can't search for a phrase--you end up getting terms scattered here and there, with some terms being ignored completely. I hate Korean search engines. |

It won't be until tomorrow night for me... so far the forecast is for thunderstorms tomorrow during the day, clearing late in the afternoon. I just hope it clears enough... |

Dang it! In less than twelve hours the forecast has changed from clearing in the late afternoon to scattered showers in the afternoon then overcast! |

Moon rise occurs, well, right now here. But like I said, with the mountains there would be no way I would see it anyway. At the moment it's actually relatively clear, considering it was supposed to be overcast. There are still broad patches of wispy cloud, but I can see large swathes of the pale blue you get at dusk. Unless something changes drastically within the next hour (and the "forecast" now says its only supposed to be partly cloudy... sigh), I think I have a pretty good chance of seeing this thing. |

Clear as a bell. Quite a spectacle. I too very nearly missed it tho' because everything I'd heard... suggested it started at 3am. Well it was of course in full eclipse at that time. But I managed to get out there just a bit after 2am and watched the whole thing. And that's where it sits right now....now the unveiling. =) |

Grrr... I can't see anything! I don't know if this is because it has clouded up considerably since my last post, or if the moon just hasn't risen over the mountains yet. It's been overcast the past several nights, so I haven't been able to time how long it takes after moonrise for the moon to be visible here. |

got up just a tad earlier than normal to catch it just to find that the clouds had taken over. Couldn't see a thing! Got nothing out of it but being a bit more tired than normal. |

Ah, blasted, I missed it. I can't believe I didn't notice. I had the dogs outside at 5:30 this morning, supposed to be the exact middle of the eclipse too |

Tao: Wow... that was indeed a trip down memory lane. It also reminds me how little I've been around lately. In little over a year after first arriving I managed to rack up 4,000 posts, yet over the past four years I've only added another thousand and change. |
