In the (very) early hours of Monday September 28th, you will have what could be a rare opportunity to see a Total Lunar Eclipse from Ireland. 2008 was the last time, 2019 is the next time, so take advantage of this event if you can (despite its timing!).

Core Details:
First Contact is at 02:07hrs when the Moon begins to enter the penumbra.
Total Eclipse is at 03:11hrs when the Moon is completely inside the umbra.
Eclipse peak (maximum effect) is at 03:48hrs.
The Moon then starts to leave the umbra at 04:23hrs.
Last Contact is at 05:27hrs when the Moon has fully exited the penumbra.
As always, we hope to see your reports and images here (and the IFAS Facebook page too!).
Clear Skies,
Seanie.

You can Dave, 2019 is the next one after this one in a few weeks where mid-eclipse can be seen.
There is one in 2018, but mid-eclipse has passed before moonrise - mid eclipse is at 21:21 ST, but moonrise is shortly after that point depending on your location in Ireland. Will still be a good one hopefully, the full phase lasts until 22:13 ST with it fully gone from the umbra by 23:19 ST. The 2018 one occurs in late July, meaning sunset is not until 21:35 ST approx, so it will be a daytime/twilight event.

Going forward in time the next one after 2019 where the full eclipse from start to finish is visible is 2029, but there are ones in 2022, 2028 and earlier in 2029 where the mid-eclipse point is visible whilst the full sequence cannot be viewed

(No point creating a new thread for this methinks, but) Would folks take the time to chip in what they're doing for the eclipse around the country? I've a request for additional info for the eclipse from a few sources, and I'd like to see where a couple of IFAS member club flags can be planted around a map of Ireland on behalf of individuals and clubs.
Thanks,
Seanie.

When we mentioned the lunar eclipse at our meeting on Monday, there was an enthusiastic response. When we then mentioned the timing, that enthusiasm disappeared quicker than a snowball in the Sahara.
So, I don't think we will bother organising anything this time.
