Yep, big night (early morning) for the east coast. Occultation of Uranus first up then the partial lunar eclipse. Looks like a slow day at work on friday

.

It's a shame we'll miss the end of the eclipse, but I guess there's really not much else to see after the umbral egress is over.
WA enjoy

Jupiter · #16 08-09-2006, 04:25 AM

Rain here too, was going nicely now its raining.

We were fortunate enough to have clear skies. But windy, very windy.
Jack got up to watch the event as well.
I took some pics with the video camera, but the ep kept on getting full of dust and stuff leaving some of the images rather spotty.
They're not much but here they are.

gaa_ian (Ian) · #18 08-09-2006, 05:51 AM

We too were blessed with clear skies here, nice shots Nettie
This was the best I could do

It was worth it to get up for a look though

iceman (Mike) · #19 08-09-2006, 06:03 AM

Nice results guys. On the way to work, the clouds parted for a brief moment (literally, 1 second) and I saw the bite out of the moon. That was my eclipse experience.

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #20 08-09-2006, 06:06 AM

Why don't you pop your photo over to the Solar System photos for all to see.
It was a memorable event hey.
