You in the UK will get to experience a total lunar eclipse this Saturday. Here in the US I'll be watching at moonrise. I am excitedly waiting to see a "ruddy moon."

Amazingly, the forecast is very good - clear skies over the UK, apart from the far west.

I'm amazed that you've never seen a lunar eclipse before munchi.

Having said that they are beautiful sights, i'm ready with my camera i just pray it stays clear, so far so good moon is still high in the sky.

Wow, it's absolutely amazing!! The skies where I am (Dorset) are crystal clear - the stars are like white diamonds jewels hanging in a dark navy sky. Hard to imagine it rained and hailed most of the day. ....and now the moon is a small crescent with the rest clearly outlined.....it's turning red. If only I had my tripod....photos are useless without it.

Would be great to see any other pics. This is better than the last lunar eclipse. Awesome, just a tiny frament remaining, but seeing the whole outline of the moon plainly.
