Here in Quebec, Canada, it's too cloudy with snow in the air.
If you see it and take pics, please share.

North Americans wont see much. It is supposed to be partial to total by the time the moon arises in the evening.

Wow!!! Big thanks Formaldehyde. Great.
They say it look orange brown because of the reflection of the sun rays on the dust of the late volcanos irruptions.

I shot it at 70mm (112mm on a 35mm camera) anything longer and I lose sharpness with my lens.

Seza's head pretty much covers this side of the hemisphere, so no.

August 27th ftw.
