Lunar Partial Eclipse

[Eric Mc]

Although there is a thread on this over in the "Boats, Trains and Planes" forum (yes, don't ask), I thought those who don't frequent such niche forums might like to know about this.

The eclipse began about 45 minutes ago but will be best seen around 7.00 pm this evening - weather permitting.

Looks like I might get it. Scope has been out for a few hours now.

Pollux. Spoke too soon.

Has it finished yet, can only just make it out through the clouds.

[Schmeeky]

Cool! Cheers Eric - just saw it before it went behind a cloud!

[Road Pest]

I think I saw a bit but was difficult to make out what was dark because of cloud or eclipse.

Unless clouds,

I can see it now and again...lots of clouds passing, think it's away to snow.
Looks great though.

Got a great view from here. Looks fantastic!

I did see it

Doesn't seem to be getting any more 'eclipsed'

Still a bright, shiny moon.

Thankyou PH. Just witnessed it. PH "Not just there for the bad things in life"...or cars.

Too many threads now

Anyway, it's very cloudy here in north Hampshire so nothing to see.

[missdiane]

Just had a peek, very clear night and moon looks like the picture above- wish I'd seen thread earlier

[spitfire-ian]

Completely forgot about it but I was shutting the curtains a few minutes ago and thought "the moon looks great, pitty that bit is hidden behind a cloud... oh wait"
