Hi Folks

Just a quick heads up for the Total Lunar Eclipse taking place during the early hours of tomorrow morning if anyone interested, some hazy high cirrus here in South Lanarkshire at moment.

Here is a link to time and details for UK...

-10C here. I'll have look through the bathroom window this time I think.

We watched the July one last year, though my photos were rubbish.

I hope someone gets up early, and braves the weather, for some photos but it won't be me!

Great! I hope it's clear and not too cold for you.

That's a great image Dan, sequences are often the best way to go and I really like the way you have presented it, standard full at upper left to fully eclipsed at lower right... easy on the eye.

I will probably just try a few telephoto shots on a standard tripod... nothing too serious, just a bit of fun then back to a warm bed!

Hope to see some good results from someone. Cloud cover here meant no photos.

I was watching it on line and they did say that most of Europe that was supposed to see it was under cloud ... apart from Kent

Well I got up at 5 am and watched it from a window. Then I went back to bed.
