In the Shadow of the Earth - Feb 21st Lunar Eclipse

This is bad - its bucketing rain now. I've brought in the scope and gear. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :x :x :x

My head is just about to come into final contact with the pillow.
Game over here.

I'm givin' up and going to bed - bloody weather. Still, when I was checking the satellite I saw this:

At least ten people are dead as flash floods in the Philippines force tens of thousands of people...

Kind of puts things in perspective.

I caught a glimpse at 2:21am and then a bit longer of a view at 2:35am.

Then the rain started and the cloud cover seemed endless to the SW (the direction the wind is blowing from)...............

So called it a night.

A friend in New Jersey is getting some good images.

Anyone else getting a glimpse of it ??
Its still cloud here with increasing wind, almost nodded off a few times. :oops: :lol:

I can just about see it again................

There is so much cloud that it just looks like the moon behind clouds. Cant see any colours apart from greyish white.

Boy am i glad i didnt stay up til 3:30am to watch this one,LOL.
