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.

Steve,

According to my scrolls the partial begins at 21:30UT.
Totality begins at 22:44UT with mideclipse at 23:21UT.
You should be seeing the eclipse onset.


Looks out of window again - The moon is now 30 - 40% covered.


I have just signed into uk.sci.astronomy.

Thrilling,

Where is that?
