Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.

The weather in Kildare played ball until midnight. It started off with the 'monster took a bite out of the Moon' effect that kids love. At 23:20 (mid-eclipse) I made it an L1 on the Danjon scale (with the naked eye). At midnight a mixture of broken cloud and haze began to interfere with the show.

I also thought it looked a little blue, I was talking to Conn Buckley over the phone and he also said it. I think this was the edge of the moon nearest the edge of the umbra. I also got the effect in a number of images.
