For those of you not turning into werewolves tonight...

There's a Full Lunar Eclipse tonight which according to - NASA - Total Lunar Eclipse: February 20, 2008 - the partial eclipse starts at around 1:43 am and the full lunar eclipse begins at 3:01am GMT

I read that there won't be another one for around 3 years, and the weather is ideal tonight so a perfect opportunity to watch it.

Would be nice if some of the hexus photographers took some photos too, i think i read somewhere that one of you lot has a big telescope, so closeup lunar eclipse photos would be cool!

Thats all

yeh don't think i can stay up tonight, i know my both my bosses are away tommorow, but i'm a good boy.

Quality, I shall set my alarm and see if I can see it - might be cool to see

I'll be sure to try and get some rubbish photos on my phone if I'm able to see it!

[kasavien]

That's what i think i'll do, i shouldn't really stay up to watch it, i need to see my tutor in the morning tomorrow, but i would like to see it.

omg, 20 mins ago it was clear. Now theres just cloud.

Fantastic, thanks England for the great weather we receive.

I'll see if i can check it out, i wouldn't be in bed at 3.01 usually anyways so i'm not really staying up as such.

I managed this one, but I think the clouds look wrong.

[Prime]

anyone catch a glimpse of it?

[kasavien]

lol clunk, managed to see part of the partial eclipse but it was distorted by the fog that had started to descend so i went to bed and didn't bother getting up for the full eclipse

[kidzer]

Woke up early to try and see it, was too cloudy - saw nothing!

[Elessar_VPR]

Was up anyway as was working nights. Was a bit cloudy/foggy so couldn't see clearly, but could see enough to see that is was being eclisped . Couldn't discern much of a colour change though.

[MadduckUK]

nope couldnt see a thing (went out to pre-icer the car.. turned out to be the first day this week it hasnt been bloody freezing ) was really foggy all day really

[CMC]

it was at like 3 am, and was gonna be too cloudly... but i did take some photos of the last lunar eclipse, which was last year i think...

because of websense i cant post a picture right now... but if you go to my Flickr look in the photograpy>lunar section....

I'l post some photos here at lunch time...
