Penumbral Eclipses

Yet to observe this type of eclipse and reading AST see the one tonight should be a bit easier to view than usual. Happens about 1.38. Have read these are of little interest to most observers but as i start work at 3.30 tomorrow is it worth getting out to try and see it?

Was planning to look at Comet Lulin as well before it grew much brighter to observe the contrast between now and its brightest when i should be able to get to a dark site. Just hope near full moon doesn't make it too dull to really see.
