It's funny how small the Moon looks when it is so dim. For a change it looks
like what it is - a small planetoid ½ a degree across.

The colours are delicate and absolutely beautiful here in this dark country
district.

Anybody know what the (integrated) magnitude of a total eclipse like
tonight's would have been? Even in 100mm binoculars it was on the dim side,
though admittedly the dew didn't help...

Quality Harv,
Seeing here in Tamworth is fantastic - my wife is moaning that I am in
and out leaving the conservatory cold. Poor footage on Sky TV though!
I came in early from the pub to take some shots (Photos!) and was
amazed how many people were standing in the streets looking up and
phoning their moms - cool!

Peace.
P.s. are you booking up for the northern lights?

I'm going, not sure when. Are you going soon? I enquired about it here last
year (I think you responded) but I heard it wasn't the bet time - so I held
back.
Let me know if and when you're going.

these lunar Eclipses, they're fantastic and all that, but they can't touch a
solar eclipse by a country mile! (bit drunk to tell the truth, we had wine
on wine watching the moon tonight. Bliss!)

I picked it up here in E Arkansas just at the Umbra
was about to touch th Aristarchus Plateau. I could not
see the "umbrated" side, but I had some haze to the East.

Checked it while ago as the Mare Imbrium was exposed
and I feel like the eclipse will prove to be darker than expected.

I've been out in our nice dark vegetable garden taking photos of the eclipse
in a lovely clear sky here in NW Cumbria. No fancy telescopes or anything,
but the camera has 10x zoom so I'm getting the best photos I've ever managed
of a lunar eclipse. I'll upload some tomorrow, to add to the general
plethora of eclipse photos that will emerge, but can someone answer me this
please? I notice a couple of nice bright stars appearing in my photos, one
on each side of the moon - can anyone tell me what they are? They were
hardly visible with the naked eye, but on a long exposure the camera picked
them up.

Gosh: it was cold out there!
