Things seem to be looking a bit better. Last time I checked NWS for the area around SPOC they were saying Monday to be sunny, Monday night partly cloudy and Tuesday a chance of rain. Now they are saying the same for Monday and Monday night but have changed Tuesday to partly sunny. Fingers still crossed. :) patrick On 11 Apr 2014, at 22:20, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Patrick's point was that it's not something that will be over quickly, like the central phase of a total solar eclipse, so there's a chance we'll get some good view even if the night is partly cloudy. I can't speak for anybody else, of course, but I would be happy to get a view during totality with stars showing around the moon -- I don't need to photograph the whole thing to be happy.

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,
