Poor boris - viewing time finished at about 7.30 - 7.45 pm

 

I messaged some people to watch right when it was happening.

They texted back ' can't see anything'.    I told 'em to look east

and then they said "oh, yeah'   Where did they think the moon

was rising?

 

But it was beautiful

where are you, Stawks?

 

Pouring rain and shrouded in fog here in Sydney could'nt see anything

 

Melbourne.  Daughter has a massive, huge telescope.  Clear sky - beautiful!

 

She tried to hook up her camera to the telescope, then didn't have sd card.

Found sd card - then battery flat in infra red on telescope! Comedy of errors!

Told her she was too much like her dad - leaving everything til the last minute.

 

Would have loved photos, but by the time everything was sorted, the moon

wasn't red anymore.  Still, to the naked eye was a sight to see

 

Will nag her on October 7th, just to make sure next time

My son-in-law took this picture tonight...........(Tasmania)
