Total Lunar Eclipse - 15th June

[Scruce]

Yes!!! A large pocket of no cloud will go over my house. I will take photos!

This is the first meaningful total lunar eclipse that could be seen here in over 7 years (!), and last time I missed it due to rainy weather. Luckily it looks like I might be able to see it tonight! (there's some clouds, but at least half of the sky is clear) Just hope that I won't overslept tonight (total eclipse starts in just more than two hours, at ~0320 local time)...

Yep, rain(only hardly, but anyway...)and small clouds in the evening. Half of the sky clear now, I don't know what will happen later...
May the probe help!!!

 

[diogom]

Not a single cloud here! :thumbup: Sorry for you guys in Germany, UK, etc. It's really frustrating, isn't it? That's how I missed the last eclipse.

 

[Urwumpe]

We have currently just many medium altitude clouds here, good chances that the moon is at least a bit visible.

 

[kevin580]

That's what I'm thinking, too. Anyway, wait 2 hours then we'll see...

Still cloudy here ... there's a good live webcast here though:

Well be happy you guys all have a chance to see it.
I can't remember if the last eclipse i saw was solar or lunar. Oh well.

 

[kevin580]

YES, YES, YES!!! Almost clear sky! I'm so happy, I knew that it would get better... I still need to wait 1 hour to see it, but anyway...

[Urwumpe]

I have a partial low cloud cover and almost complete medium alt cloud cover... looks bad.

 

[kevin580]

Now the total eclipse begins. Looks wonderful at this stream.

 

[Urwumpe]

Now I have complete cloud cover in the SW... that was my lunar eclipse for today.

 

[kevin580]

Oh, clouds are coming... Moon is up now, but still 10-20 minutes to go...

 

[Ghostrider]

Big freaking mountain between me and the Moon. Need big laser.

 

[kevin580]

Thank you for the moonlit night...
Grr...Clouds...Clouds..Big clouds....Big red clouds....No moon...

 

[Scruce]

These below photos arent mine because the moon is yet to rise high over the UK, but i thought i might share them:

 

[Ghostrider]

Big freaking mountain and big freaking clouds prevented me from getting the totality. However, here we are...

 

[PennyBlack]

Thankyou for posting the images. I'm under heavy cloud cover, again.
Typical British weather.

It would be fun to have that simulated in Orbiter, you would get a weird brown/red lightning when on the Moon.

Not to mention all the weird colors you could have around the gas giants.
