it was quite a sight where I live. since I have the habit of working at night I got to see pretty much the whole thing.
something that was pretty was as the eclipse was ending, about 5am, venus was rising in the east, so you had the moon in the west with just a bit of shadow along its bottom edge, and venus was blazing bright in the east, looking like one of those cartoon christmas stars with rays shooting out.
the moments at the beginning and end of totality were fucking cool. oddly, the white flash that marks the beginning and end were not on opposite sides. the beginning of totality flash was at about 3oclock on the moon's face, whiule the end of totality flash happened at about 12oclock.
