Partial lunar eclipse - 7 Sep 2006

Is it even worthwhile bothering to try see it? Bearing in mind I'm in Dublin city and a clear eastern horizon is gonna mean a bit of a trek.

Yes! Go take a look now! Nice view of it from here. Much better than I expected. I grabbed a few shots too but won't get a chance to work on them till the weekend.

Clear skies,

Hmmm .... not much left to see at this stage .... trust me to forget about an eclipse when it is clear for once

Just tried to photograph it, but I could'nt believe it when the area where the moon was rising was cloudy, either side of that was clear :evil:

I just had a look now through the binos, I saw a slight dimming on the top right hand side of the moon, but certainly nothing spectacular.

How much % eclpise in march next does anyone know?
Keith..

Only just got to see it at about 21:00. I think I missed anything that might have been interesting. Oh well.

Finally an eclipse on a clear night and bloody houses and trees get in the way of it!

Dear Friends,

I am already ducking for stating that we had perfect weather for the event ... and here is the proof:

I am anxiously waiting for the next such major event next spring. I am afraid the solar eclipse in a couple of weeks is not worth the trouble to travel for it or, otherwise, I would have gone for it.

Best wishes from Greece!

Anthony.
