Happily:
1) We're not talking about a total solar eclipse.
2) Lunar eclipse totality lasts well over an hour so we'll have lots of time to see it if clouds do appear.
3) Long range weather forecasts are notoriously inaccurate.
Finger crossed,
1) Nobody said we were. 2) Some of us wanted to image the entire event, start to finish. A glimpse of totality through broken clouds won't cut it. And if it's totally overcast, lots of time won't matter. 3) I realize the poor track record of any forecast longer than two or three days, but I also know the solid track record of bad weather during rare celestial events from northern Utah. I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. The good news is that the storm prediction has been pushed back a bit, so maybe Monday night/early Tuesday morning will give us a break.
