Total Lunar Eclipse

June 15th, 2011
Just read this and thought people may be interested in trying to get a shot tonight. The article is about viewing in the UK but I assume there will be places all over the world that can see it

I will be able to see it around 2:20am (Thailand time), which is around 6 hours from now. If I'm still awake and there is no rain, might take a pic :-)

@viranod i'm luckier than that - provided the cloud clears up I should be able to see it at around 9pm
June 15th, 2011
I'm hoping to catch it as well. Should go with the weekly theme as well!

I think there is way too much cloud and rain over here in eastern Australia unfortunately.

It's supposed to happen in about 2 hours, which would be 1 pm here. I don't think I'll see it, haha.

It's going to be visible here in Egypt for a whole 45 minutes! Really hoping to catch it on camera, we'll see in about 30 minutes

Now we can watch via webcam. COOL!!!!

Watch the total lunar eclipse online
"North America is totally out of the picture for Wednesday's unusually long total lunar eclipse — unless, that is, you're tuning the show in over the Web. If you click on the right website, the view could be totally cool."

We've had much more cloud than eclipse ... this was a brief moment over Cape Town.

Yay! I managed to catch it in its very last minutes :D
