Didn't see a heads up here so I thought I'd mention it.

In this weather?

I was just going to say that too. Bloody cloudy yet again :-( - might
get some sort of a view though, I can see the disc through the cloud
cover.


You're not near Bournemouth are you? For the first time, it looks like I'm
going to see something. Every other time there's been anything worth seeing,
I've missed it due to the weather. Especially the total solar eclipse a few
years ago. We are only about 60 miles from the zone of totality, but the sky
was black anyway. Had the forecast been good, I was going to go down there.

But back to tonight. I take it we've got first contact now? I just looked
out of the window and the bottom edge of the moon is dark. Or is that cloud?
I think I'll go outdoors for a minute or so. Back soon.
