Totally clouded in here in the Yarra Valley and looks like it's not going to clear. Melbourne looks the same.

Not yet totally gone, but the eclipsed portion of the moon is a very dark copper colour.

DOOOHHHHH!! All clouded over here at the moment with a dim haze of the moon just trying to break through.
I actually had a fathers day night at my sons kinder tonight and it was good to see many of the parents and kids talking about and keen to go outside to see the eclipse .
A shame it is cloudy considering last night was perfect.

(I'm trying to "correct" to a friend here who thinks the eclipse is finished in NZ because they are 2 hours ahead)
It just poking through clouds, damn these teasing heavenly bodies!

Beautiful view from Tasmania! It's a very dark orange/red colour at the moment.
I feel sympathy for the people who are clouded over.

I would have to say this lunar eclipse is a bright one on the Danjon scale. I'll stick my neck out and say it an L4 on the Danjon scale.

Flipping awesome.
I'm getting images from the Powershot and the camcorder.
It was "Obscured by Clouds" to start off with, but the "Eclipse" in totality is cloud free.
Any guesses as to which music I'm listening to while watching.

Hey guys, just joined (first reply)!
Anyway, I'm here in Clayton in Melbourne, been trying to look at the eclipse for a while. Currently at 8:22 here its a very very faint red. Thick cloud is blocking it. I have some questions for the smart people out there;
1) I remember a few years back when driving home from school I looked up into the sky and I saw the full moon orange, not knowing what it was at the time it facinated me. Now what I find strange with this eclipse at the time was that every now and then I see the full moon extra extra large. Why is this?
Most of the time when I look at the full moon its very small, but rarely its very, very large (the eclipise at the time was very interesting to look at, it being extra large and all).
It may be a stupid question, but Im wondering. Why is the full moon sometimes HUGE and sometimes small?
Edit: I just looked outside again and the area in the sky where I saw a light, light, light orange is now gone. For all I know, I'm looking in the wrong area. Anyone around Melbourne (around Clayton, maybe?) able to see it?

I guess this is too easy, so you won’t be offering a lavish prize for the correct answer, which is of course, Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd.

The conditions here in Port Macquarie have gone bad (not that they started good), so much dew I will need to wring out the scope when I am done. So much smoke from peoples fire places and some high clouds, I can see the moon brighten and darken as the clouds move by. In fact as I type this I can barely see the moon....
