Hi,

I've just noticed on the BBC's website at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6411991.stm there's a total eclipse
of the moon tonight starting around 10:40.

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


Very odd looking at the moon through the 15x70 bins and seeing 5 and 5.8
magnitude stars standing out so close!
