The moon is red with anger to be deprived of sun

I'm debating staying up to see it here in Denmark, making it even more silly hours, could probably go to bed now and catch it... decisions...decisions.

I understand completely.. I've made a decision with this one...

I'm still at work and won't be finished till 11pm here (UK), will have to set alarm to wake up in time to sit out in the garden with camera and a beer (-:
The next Lunar eclipse of this type is a long way off - i might not make the date in 2033 - missed the last one in the 80's - probably in a pub somewhere

another linky (not related to UK pubs)

Long night ahead - gotta be worth it if the weather's ok - hopefully get some snaps and put em' up here

I'll probably be up anyway, but they're forecasting cloud with some clear spells here.

 

[Zieman]

Clouds & rain forecast here.

Will still set the alarm to check out how good the forecast is... (5:30 AM here when the eclipse is entering its deepest phase).

About an hour? shouldn't begin last I checked until 2-3 hours?

 

[GrimThara]

Well, if the weather permits then I'll take a look at it for sure. Sadly it is getting quite cloudy here, but, we'll see.

 

[Castor_23]

I heard it's in about 3 to 4 hours here in Lower Bavaria. At about 04:00 till 05:30 local time.

 

[stevesideas]

It starts at 1.10 am in UK London.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Traveler by plane above the clouds, will have a magnificent view ?

 

[Cody]

See here!

 

[bigian12]

The penumbra phase begins at 00:12 UTC, between then and 1:30 well see the moon slowly getting blocked out. The moon won't be completely in the earths shadow until around 2:15 am UTC.

 

[Zephyriel]

I want to see this, the skies are perfectly clear tonight here in Paris... But 4-5AM is either very late to stay up or very early to wake up, I'm on holiday but my GF wakes up at 7 to go to work, I don't want to ruin her night... Still, 2033, that's a long way off... Hm...

 

[AstroCreep]

Telescope & Camera all ready to go.

 

[Patrick_68000]

At 4 in the morning, I would be in my bed in the middle of stars

 

[bigian12]

The moon is casting an eerily blue glow here, in Ireland, soon it'll pass the penumbral phase, which is where it enters the outer limits of earths shadow.
