crystal clear here and COLD!! Its only -6º so far, but dropping fast... I've been watching it slowly cover. There is a slight hint of red in the covered part already. I have my heavy duty binoculars out, since I sold my telescope and then never bought the one telescope I really wanted... figures. I tried to take a picture of it with my digital camera, but I just do not have the lens to do it justice. I should have bought a better digital camera too I guess..
