Caught a moment of it from the comfort of my desk at home, on the local news. I plan to head to work and have a senic view.

Bah, I didn't even bother getting up for it. Twas at around six in the morning here wasn't it? Lunar eclipses are boring. If it had been a solar eclipse, I would've gotten up and looked at it (never seen one in real life.) Solar eclipses are cool to look at IMO, lunar is just, meh, whatever.

bah, eclipse rubbish; as per usual it wasn't visible from Britain, and even if it had been, we wouldn't have seen anything for cloud. The Perseids were a washout like everything else (Argolids, Mars, eclipses, comets - we never get to see anything!)

back in 1973 (when I was a little Mullah with my mum's tea towel round my head) Patrick Moore went on and on about Comet Kahoutek, supposed to be the most spectacular thing in the sky for years, promising a magnificent display in the western sky every night. Well, yours truly went out every flippin' nigth to look for the dam thing and saw exactly nothing, except rain, and cloud when it wasn't raining, what a gyp. Never seen anything since except Comet Hallé-Boppe and even that was just a dirty fuzzy ball.

Yet still i take myself out in the hope that maybe I migth once see these celestial wonders everyone keeps going on about, never do though. I think they're as fake as those fake moon landings we were conned into back in the 60s.

I was able to check it out briefly when the cloud cover eventually passed. I missed most of it, but initially I was able to spot a bright yellow moon, but I was hoping for a nice shade of sinister red. Fortunately I was not disappointed and, while it wasn't very bright, it was still interesting, at least until it changed back to good old "whitey" .

Yup caught it, though the bright red moons you see in the photomographs are a bit of bull, the naked eye only sees it as a dark red splotch, still pretty cool though.

I am here in Sydney, Australia. It was on at 7pm to 8:37pm then wen't back to the white light at 10pm.

I got to see the full thing, the cloud covering and it was blood red.

I managed to catch a UFO circling around the moon. It could not be seen by the naked eye but in camera. It is on my MOTORAZR phone, it was a bright white light, like a diamond but with rounder edges and vertices.

Awesome. I'd say!

Here is how it went for me.
Wake up at 5 am? Y
You wake up at 5 am.
Go watch the Total lunar Eclipse? ....N
You go back to bed...

Yeah that'd be a star, caught it on my SLR.

I thought it would be a star. But you never know...

But it was strange how it kept circling the moon though, and i couldn't see it with my eye and only on my phone. Strange...

i caught the lunar eclipse when it was visible from britain a few months ago.

my biggest lens was only a 200mm, so the pics weren't fantastic, but they're reasonable.

so exactly how much silver nitrate did you put into the clouds to get a clear night then, Dan?

Ah pete, its all the pollution from the factories down south here. sure, it makes the buildings turn black, but we get a clear night every now and again.

just a month ago i saw a meteorite hit the atmosphere. awesome golden trail ended in a green flash.

somethimes, we even see stars!
