Billy Wardle Happenings

 We were no in the right continent to see the eclipse the other night, but still the moon looked very different and beautiful.

 Sheri was in Indiana, where the eclipse was full.  She went to a park with the boys to watch.  We in Kingman didn't get a full eclipse but it was still cool.  Sheri took all the glasses with her so we did the best we could. Carbondale, Illinois where I lived a couple years as a youth was featured as there were weddings and complete darkness. SHeri and boys at a park in Bristol, Indiana Using the colander made a cool pattern and didn't hurt the eyes

 I couldn't get very good pictures with my phone.  I could see the eclipse great through my monocular, which was really cool.  At its height only a drop of light was peaking through; but I could see the shadow of the moon with the monocular.  It was quite the show.  I tried to zoom in with my camera, but there was not enough light so it got grainy.  The eclipse was at its peak at about 2 a.m. and lasted for almost an hour before is started to come back.  This was early in the morning 11/19/2021.  This is the view I recorded.
