Don't forget that there is a total lunar eclipse tonight, Saturday, (between 2244 and 2358 GMT) which is supposed to be best one ever as the atmosphere is so clear.

Jesus I'm such a geek .

Apparently the moon is supposed to appear to glow red or something. Doubt if I'll get a good view from here - too many red lights in the area. Just popped out on the terrace to see how it's doing. I'm not howling yet.....

BTW Justin, I preferred your old avatar. The new one is just too intimidating!

Blimey Justin, I just scanned through the threads, and it seems mighty quiet on the forum tonight. Either everyone is out doing what they should be doing on a Saturday night, or they're all geeks like you and me, watching the eclipse! Either way, the forum seems to have been overshadowed by something else tonight.........

Almost there viewed from Somerset.

We've had a perfect view of it here.  Totally clear sky, absolutely brilliant.  Tried to take a picture but it just looks like a blob (well this is Eye on Spain not Eye in the Sky!!).

Rob, changed avatar to something more me!

Pink (ish) here !

Speak for yourselves, i'm certainly no geek and i like watching the moon turn red. Do you all spend saturday nights "forum it up"?

Justin, your Avatar has always been the nodding dog ain't it?

Maybe the moon has turned our heads tonight..........wish i could see it, clouds coming in thick and fast.............. 

It looked good Fibby, got my bino's out, love stars and stuff think they are amazing.

Have I scared everyone off?

Where are you located Sugarpants?

In Spain and/or UK?

Regards,

Right now the moon is really orange, looks amazing.  Only wish I could photograph it.

Was out walking the dog tonight in the far north of scotland on a beautiful night and had a fabulous view of the eclipse hovering over the north sea - very pinkish!!!! 

We too saw it too in Gloucestershire - beautiful eveing around 11.30 to midnight - clear sky full of stars but the moon was pink with a thin slither of white - really unique ...... never noticed before ... has it happended before? maybe when you reach a certain age you notice more around you and appreciate the beauty of the clear night sky.

These pics are ace. Saturday 3rd March 2007 saw a total eclipse of the moon in Torrevieja.
