'Big' Moon

Keep an eye out tongiht for the full Moon rising in the SE at around 11:30 -
'Moon' illusion will make it look really cool.

The clouds seem to be clearing here in Shannon too!

Its cloudy in the east though from here, we'll see how it pans out.

Clear here in Daingean. Nice sunset actually...

It's clearing up nicely here now.

Just checked
www.metoffice.gov.uk/satpics/latest_uk_vis.html

There is a clear patch developing just right over Clare
moving SW.

Just back from a jaunt around the West.
I tried to beat the clouds,
(opposite of stormchasing I had the sat nav,
mobile BB and laptop with me and I was going to
where it was clear!)

Well, the clouds got the better of me with regards
to the Moon rise but the upside is, I found some nice spots
off the beaten track for observing & photography.

I found a nice elevated spot facing N with a wide expanse
of rolling fields with pretty much no lighting
so I set up my camera an waited to see would some NLC's appear.

Well, yeah, there was a very VERY slight display,
nothing worth posting in picture form.

I wonder did anyone catch the moonrise at all?

Not here, clouds also rolled in along the horizon for about an hour. I went to bed then after that!

Seanie.
