Great Lunar Eclipse tonight

[Pano]

I don' know how many of yo got to see tonight's total Lunar Eclipse, but it was a good one.

The moon is about 1/2 way back to light as I write this, very good viewing thru binoculars. Totality lasted a long time.

Hope some of the other Loonies here got to see it.

I didn't even know, the news was reporting more important things, Like Lindsay Lohan and all that other important stuff.

I am on the East Coast and don't even know if we could have seen it!

I was too sleepy to watch it start, so I got up at 4:00AM to watch it re-appear. Very cool!

 

[Cal Weldon]

I got to see it just as the moon was reappearing. Thank goodness for falling asleep on the couch.

Good view from Oz east coast at 8pm.... very cool.

 

[Dennis Hui]

My alarm clock didn't go off and I got up just as
the moon set in Toronto.

Hope you guys out west enjoyed the show.

Cheers,
Dennis

I went outside at 5:45AM EDST in Cleveland but:
Too many street lights and too many trees, so I never found the moon.

Good view from Oz east coast at 8pm.... very cool.

I went down to the local park and found about 20 people in two groups watching, barbies out having a great time.

Here in Hawaii it was at midnight. Good for me, as that's when I get off work.

You lads in OZ, how high above the horizon was the moon at 8PM? Was it low? In Hawaii it was very high, near zenith and slightly south, as it was midnight.

Cal, glad you got to see it!

50 degrees or so.

50 degrees or so.

Ahhh.... that must have been cool.

Saw one like that one summer in Avignon during the festival. Very big and bright.

Ahhh.... that must have been cool.

It was. Sitting back in a beach chair, steak, BBQ chook, corn bread, chilli and some Cascade beer.
