If you're a UK member, here's a guide to how you can observe tomorrow morning's total lunar eclipse...
http://cumbriansky.wordpress.com/2010/12/2...-across-the-uk/ If you live outside the UK, a quick Google search should provide you with advice on watching it from your location, if you can see it. I know it's going to be widely observed across the US, so US members should check out the SKY & TELESCOPE website for times, etc. -------------------- |

Mid-totality photo 55mm zoom 2.5 sec on tripod at ISO 1600 F5.6
Most focused of the shots I took. More on my blog soon. http://bkellysky.wordpress.com/ Cirrus and increasing deck of altocumulus. Temp mid 20's F, gusty wind. Seemed darker than the last one, not nearly as dark as when volcanic ash made the moon almost disappear. Couldn't see Tycho. Less colorful in my 8x25 binoculars. bob
