I'm trying to stay awake cuz I keep hoping I'll get a better shot of the eclipse. Well, maybe a better shot than I got before but my iphone is no match for @myklj999 canon. Ohhhh welllll. So I found another otter video, they're so cute and funny too.

A lot of people did but you can check out youtube to see what some have posted or just look at what JJ has posted, he got some really good shots.

This was the first eclipse that was actually visible in my area @LadyDuck I recall a couple of eclipses over the past few years that were only visible in places like Asia or parts of Europe.

I tried to take pictures with my Motorola and they didn't turn out very well, either. I deleted them. *shrug* I rarely need a real camera as my phone gives very good photos but for long distance shots, it just can't do it.

I tried to get my Nikon D3200 to focus on the moon but the damn thing just plain would not. I miss my Nikon 35mm film camera, it would have done a fair job given the limitation of the lenses I have for it.

I was awake at that hour, but I missed out on all of that. I didn't have a view from inside, and I didn't want to venture out into the cold to see if I could manage a decent view (despite the horrendous light pollution in the city). So, I stayed tucked up in bed with computer and kitty--and a husband snoring away.

@rebelann Yes, it is amazing how much noise there is at all hours. I know that cities tend to be high energy, but I've lived in ones before that weren't this noisy.

It might not have been as visible there plus all that noise of the city isn't fun either.

They are very cute. But otter pets? Apparently they are in France. Funny, they had no interest in eating it.

Yeah, they are cute and you're right but I wonder if maybe these 2 were orphaned young and then raised in captivity, that usually means they can't be released into the wild anymore. I just hope that is the case but personally I would have looked for a wildlife conservation center or refuge for them.

Probably not and I would think its similar in other countries as well. I just checked the authors notes and it turns out that video was created in Japan.

@rebelann Right. I doubt that it would be legal to keep them as pets in the US at all.

For some reason eclipses and I don't get along to well. There was one during the summer months I did see but it seems most times it is usually overcast when one comes along in my area. Hope you enjoyed your eclipse of the moon.

I either lived in the wrong area or didn't know about them in the past but this one I was determined to see for myself, I didn't get any good shots but if I ever get to see another one I hope to have a better camera.

When there's scary kritters around it makes doing outside a challenge, I'm lucky that the scariest wild kritter here is that dadblasted ground squirrel but he's scared of Roscoe

I am surprised. Usually you take all kinds of shots. I guess it was just a wee bit cold out there.
