Lunar Eclipse

As of now www.metcheck.com is predicting up to 99% cloud cover for the duration of the eclipse. Typical.

Feck ya John...

It's actually an improvement over the earliest forecast for Thursday morning that was shown on that site - which may mean that it'll turn out to be better than now predicted. But I'm not banking on it. If all else fails I'll be watching online instead and both Sky News and BBC News multiscreen are known for broadcasting these events. And since I have an LCD TV in the livingroom I could photograph that in a pinch!

(it's all I got because you're too far away for the hurley's and rocks).

With our weather patterns, what do you expect?

I'm a Tribesman born and bred, not a native Lilywhite. Are you sure that you want to talk about hurleys?

Hi,

So I'm new to all this and wondering what if anything I will see after 1am on friday morning - if we have clear skies ?

I live in Co. Tyrone - very dark, but will the real action not start after 3am.

Just wondering if I should set my alarm for 1am or 3am or both.

Any ideas what that the weather firecast is giving ?

Hehehe... you did the same mistake I did last week Madhatter - see my second post here:

It's early Thursday morning, not Friday morning, that the eclipse is on.
