Up early

watching the total lunar eclipse. So slow.....

Last several times there have been even partial eclipses, it's been cloudy overhead & they haven't been visible. This morning, however, not a cloud in the sky. Perfect weather.

Google have got it live on YouTube, but they're showing it with the shadow coming in from the side.


Where we are, the shadow is coming down from the top.


Don't know if I'll stay up & watch it all. The moon is only halfway covered, & it's taken an hour plus to get this far. Which means it'll have sunk beneath the horizon before it's all over.
