Nah, I went out all night while the eclipse was on, but it just didn't make
it up to my latitude 36 degrees south. The eclipse was good, the kids loved
it (when we finally woke them up). Up here it was real dark skies after the
eclipse started. And damn cold. Spewing the aurora didn't make it up here.
The last one visible here (cloud and latitude permitting) was 1989. I've
seen lunar eclipses before, so I was looking for an aurora. Love those
things.
