I was going to post it in the ISS thread but couldn’t find it!

No show here but just caught the Space Station directly overhead through a break in the clouds.

Hoping the weather stays clear for tonight’s Lunar Eclipse, patchy cloud here in north Dublin but we already have a beautiful full moon high in the eastern sky. Get your alarms set for 3:15 and hope the weather stays favorable. Next one isn’t for another 14 years, so this is well worth the early start.

Wifey wont be happy though

Wifey will be fine, she bought me a telescope for Christmas so she can’t complain if I start using it. We might have to drive a little bit to the other side of a local hill to catch the end of the eclipse so she has fair warning.

unlucky, all i need to do is not draw the bedroom curtains tonight for a view across miles of light free countryside.

Forecast is now “mostly cloudy” and indeed it is now
