Lunar eclipse

[FLO]

Looking pretty good from Exeter but difficult to make out any orange/copper colour through the upper cloud/mist.

Am hoping for clearer sky later!

[Ant]

You won;t see any orange / copper till just after 3am. That's when totality starts...

Good Luck.

:clouds1:Just reached about 60% coverage behind cloud in Newcastle , but the thick stuff is blowing in very rapidly now so I think that's it for me for this year . I was luck that last years fell on my 40th Birthday, think I'll go and look at last years pics to remember what it looked like .

At precisely 1.43 the clouds rolled in and havent budged since just had a quick peep out at 3.03am the time of the totality and its still wall to wall cloud.

DOH and Double DOH

[Ant]

no sure where yo are Kevin, but thats what happened here almost to the minute.

Just been ot to have a look (had a 10 countdown running constantly) to find that it is now spitting... So packed everything away and then caught a very fleeting glimpse - that was 3:15am - and the moon fom what I saw didn't look very red.

Packed up in doors - roll on 2010

Got quite a few decent looks through 8x40s while at work. There was thin layer of cloud most of the time but the Moon was shining through intermittently.

[Jamie]

There was a layer of cloud over me too (about a mile deep it was)

Never even got a glimmer of moonlight......Hmmmmph!!!!

What Eclipse, total hoax except for Starry Night.

Here in Scotland it was white, white and more white, not a glimmer of anything.

Last few nights were as clear as a bell and brilliant, but last night alas was a total disappointment.

Total wall of cloud and looking at the Met Office Satellite projection made it even more depressing.

As for being my first Lunar Eclipse i did not even see the moon rise set it was that thick so as far as i am concerned it is like the Moon Landings, all prefabricated lies. LOL

Total cloud cover, lightning and thunder from Phoenix.

[The Warthog]

Gee, I made out pretty well, then. I had expected cloud cover, but it all blew away when the Moon came up.
