Are you going to stay up and watch the lunar eclipse?

I have some links, as I was just posting these at another (non-cat) forum. Seems the word is now on the street about our secret eclipse. Drat.

Yup. That works.

Hey Bikeman if you get a photo, maybe you could use it as an avatar

It will be morning for me already - I doubt if i'll be able to see it

It's is supposed to happen between 5 and 6 PM here, so we will be on the lookout

Won't be very visible here. Sunset is at around 6:20 MST.

The sky is completely overcast, so we can't see the moon at all here. I'm hoping the clouds will lift within the next three hours, but I doubt it. Bummer!

due to start soon, we have clear skies in Spain, so we are gonna make a hot coffee with some whiskey and watch the proceedings - I will try to get some shots

that sounds so cool! i think i'll watch it.. if i can remember the times! lol
i've never actually seen one, maybe once, but that's it.. exciting!!!

Heres some shots - its started but the colour thing wont show for another hour or so yet
This one is with a 'night' option on, so it lets loads of light in, I thought it looked cool

this one is just on normal setting

It was a lovely clear night here and we could see it perfectly, it was really good. Our camera isn't good enough to take photos it just looks like a glowing dot

i missed it it was supposed to start after 6 and well with the creepinest around my house i wasnt going outside and well it was finally dinner time but i am really upset that i missed it, i forgot all about it

I didnt even know there was going to be an eclipse untill I came on here yesterday!
Anyway, my brother texted me at about half 9, just as I was nodding off in front of the telly, telling me to go and look and that the end of the world was nigh
Managed to get a picture but its not that good.
This is the eclipse from the south coast of England!

Great pictures!

We managed to see a bit between the breaks in the clouds

We missed it. It was partly cloudy here to the east....the west was pretty clear, but it just wouldn't clear up enough for us to see it!

It was way too cloudy here and the sky was still too bright from the snow we go yesterday so we couldn't see it

Great pics

It was so cloudy and overcast last night. I couldn't see the moon at all.

Same here. I was really disappointed, as we were in "the perfect place" to see it in its totality.

Wow! We had a fantastic view here in the centre of the UK. It was a beautifully clear night and we were walking back from the Restaurant when it started. It was about a two mile walk, so we got to see quite a bit of it outside, then we watched it from home right through to totality when the moon went a beautiful deep orange/red colour.

Sorry, no photos though - I didn't think about that.

Hmm, it was partly cloudy here lastnight, but we still got a pretty clear view. I didn't catch it until it was beginning to recede, but it was still amazing!
