    Yup - I've just texted everyone I thought might be interedsted! It is really amazing through our telescope - I kept nagging my son for banging the tripod, but of course, it is the moon moving! :rolleyes:

    Looking good now!

    Not good at photography but have just stood outside to watch the moon disappearing - it's a really beautiful site through the binoculars -
    22.50 completely eclipsed.

    Not sure about the wish?

    We have still got light at the very top,so not sure if it has completly gone.I am watching it through binoculars,and there is a strange cloud covering some of the stars,though we can still see them.We shall have to put up what we have of it...
