definetly getting darker top-left, still very bright though.

Yep, can see that.

But as I just said, not very well

Lovely clear night here (SW Surrey)

I think I will go back to bed for an hour or so and get back up to see totality.

Its one of thoae where you dont know whether to go aleep and set the alarm or stay up... im up now though so itd be pointless going for a snooze now.

dunker · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:11

I think I read earlier that the next time this will happen is 2033.

Don't know if I am going to be around to see that (Too Old, Too many bad habits!

) so I would like to see it this time!

either a cloud is covering the moon (top left) or the lunar eclipse has started, no change in colour though :mad:

Blinkz · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:20

Surrey here too and top left starting to go. Annoyed I don't have a lens to use to get pics! Have to invest in a decent telephoto

dunker · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:20

that's no cloud, so cool

cainer · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:20

dunker · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:23

i'm so sleepy but there's no way i'm missing this.

2StepSteve · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:23

Definitely getting some movement now. I am flagging though zzzz

Rroff · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:26

Hope it lives upto expectations - its not as big as I'd hoped though - I remember crossing the seven bridge probably 1991-92 and the moon was low on the horizon and the biggest I've ever seen it - seemed about 3x bigger than now.
