I have seen some of the eclipses I wanted to see, but many times the clouds thwart my plans.

Well you do live in Melbourne. What do you expect?

I expect the statistical average of clouds, nothing more.

It was too overcast here to see more than the snow falling in my face. :sniff: Wish I could have seen it. Thanks for the pic.

Eclipse was already underway at moonrise ... had started around 1500 hrs, I think.

Sounds about right, it got dark during lil' Ps tourney, but it was too cloudy to see anything.

It was gorgeous and we were able to watch it all from start to finish. Did anyone else see a bright green flash at the top rim of the moon (so scientific duh) in the final moments before the eclipse? Nobody else I've spoken to seems to have...:alien: Any Triffids about..?

Sat night we went out with the in-laws for dinner. I forgot about it till I looked out the car window on the way and thought, damn, the moon was practically full last ni..OH DUH!!. It was about 6:40pm, and only the top right third was covered. By the time we got out of the restaurant, it was over. If I hadn't been with the 'rents, I would have gone back for my camera, because it was a totally clear view at the time. :(
