I saw this reminder, only a partial eclipse from Durban.
Not sure about the rest of the world.

It is overcast with showers here at the moment, I may only get to see the astronomical event cloud cover if this continues.

The lunar eclipse will be visible in much of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Antarctica.

Yeah, where did summer go, and why now - when my ‘scope stuff turns up... Oh, yeah D’oh!

Some penumbra at sunset for me.

Penumbral for me to.
Picture below is from Skysafari showing my best view if it's clear.

Good luck the forecast here is for extensive clouds through till tomorrow.

Good luck with your lunar eclipse.

We've got clear skies forecast here for tonight's Full Moon, so I'm hoping for some (maybe one at least) good photos.

Just played with my scope and camera, may be clear - but here it is way to windy.

Well, I appear to have once again upset the Gods and Goddesses, as the earlier clear skies have now changed to low thick cloud

I was all set up with my camera to try and photograph the Strawberry Moon, but alas that is not going to happen - darn it :sigh:

....... and now it's just started raining heavily

Managed to view the moon through some hazy patches of cloud.
With a bit of averted imagination the one limb did appear "less bright" at maximum with the naked eye, zero difference in the scope.

At least you managed to get out and do some viewing

Picture with a phone through the eyepiece.
Lower left limb is supposed to mark the spot.
