It looks lovely :) I climbed up onto the table under the bedroom window to watch it .. I'm lucky to be alive :o The woodwork in my house isn't safe!

I shouted out of the window to my next-door neighbour .... "CYNTHIA!!! LOOK AT THE MOON!"

She hasn't spoken to me for the past 3 yrs and she didn't reply. Oh well ;D

Is it still visible, and if so which direction should I be looking in Surrey?

The moon is normally out the back window, but today I can't see it anywhere.

Chris Graham · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2007, 00:02:30 »

Nice and red, i couldnt be bothered seting up the scope for a look and a photo.

Just pleased that i managed to see it.

Leonnie · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2007, 00:09:10 »

Here's my photos, eventually started to freeze out there, brrrrr it's cold! Sorry to those on dial up, there's quite a few photos, I got carried away.

GrowingChillis · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2007, 00:11:58 »

WOW nice photos, makes up for me not seeing it

any ideas on which direction it is in? is it still visible?

triffid · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2007, 00:19:10 »

GrowingChillies, if you go out now, it's still very dramatic: most of the moon still eclipsed. It's very high in the southern sky, so you should be able to see it if the skies are clear your way.

And Leonnie, thanks a mill for the pictures -- now I can show Small Triffid what he missed... it would have been cruel to wake him; he's not a night-owl! :)
