About 6 minutes into totality. The moon seemed to get a bit redder as the hour of totality progressed. However, I think this is the only photo I really have that is any good.

Tadhg joined me for this event. It’s his birthday today which helped convince him to come out. We sat by the fire which warmed us on this 38-49 °F night. I made nachos with homemade leftover baked beans and spinach and a fresh-made cheese sauce. That kept us warm too. The night was still and quiet. Our conversation provided the only sound after a train tooted its way through town.

Tadhg left a little while ago and the eclipse has clearly almost reached the end of even its partial phase. The moon is back. I’ve cleaned up and started a dishwasher going and it’s time for bed so much for a proper sleep cycle, but it has been worth it.
