Lunar Eclipse 15th June
« on: 14 June 2011, 19:08 »
For those who don't know there is a lunar eclipse tomorrow night, apparently it should be visible between 9 & 10pm just thought it would be an idea to get different peoples views/ideas on this and how photos vary in different parts of the country

I'm sure some of the "experts" will be along to help soon, I'm only a beginner myself, just thought it'd be interesting to see different angles on this.

Not sure on this?? Just read it in the paper, it never said anything about where it was visible or not??? Hopefully somebody can confirm this??

Ahem.

Us off-shore types should get a good view, if the weather's clear.
