I'll be camping with a few friends (so we'll probably stay up and see it) although I did stay up to witness the previous one. ;)

Very interesting stuff, no? :)

Could make for a dark trek to work on a possibly snowy night (hoping to get a brake and some lights for the bicycle I was given). I should have a particularly good view of a black hole in the sky from mid-way on my walk (over a hilltop).

I might go and have a look but we'll see.  ;) Seems a bit foggy down here at the moment.  ::)

Beautifully clear night here, and the moon's starting to disappear!  Too bad I don't have a camera...

Right now, the moon looks like Mic's first moon pic. :)

Just my luck.

:D

The rain cleared and clouds started to move away right at the start. Lets just hope my 30yr ld cameara can take good pics and my cheap digital. My zoom is really bad on both. I am on like my 20th shot as I am experimenting. :-/

They could really invest in a tripod though...

.....Kept a look-out during the night, but complete cloud cover prevented me from seeing anything....

....except Clouds... :'(....

...and the occasional Burglar with his Swag-Bag, wandering around the Estate, hoping to nick some goodies from some poor, unsuspecting, happy sleeper...

...as 'appens... :o...!

Paul...A typical Lunartic.... :-*... ;D...!
