That's a nice catch, Paul!
I envy your opportunity to observe it.
It was cloudy and drizzling all day and throughout the night.
But my biggest disappointment was that I was unable to show the eclipse
to my daughter. The timing would've been perfect: the totality
was starting just before the bed time for her.
Earlier last week, I had explained to her how eclipse happens, showing
that with a lamp, inflatable globe and a yellow ball (as the moon).
At about 8:20pm (CDT), it started clearing up right above us, and the
clouds thinned slightly around the moon, to give a hope, but only for less
than a minute, and it didn't reveal the moon. I kept stepping outside of
the house to check, but to no avail.
Bummer!

Kept watching the moon and realized it was a pretty good look. Got a
camera and lens, went to get my tripod in the office and realized I
didn't have the tripod food. Said eff it and shot it handheld. Someone
else will do it right.
