... and there is a full moon visible, you should be able to see a "grazing" lunar eclipse. Between about 10.30pm and 3am. I think I'll stay tucked up in bed in this weather though!

@nozzer I assume it's the same as this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grazing_lunar_occultation I must say I'd never heard of this phenomenon although it must happen relatively frequently. It looks like it'll be cloudy here so I shall have to wait for next time.

Technically it's a penumbral eclipse... the moon is going into the fuzzy shadow either side of the main umbral shadow, so it won't go dark in a crescent, it'll just look a bit strange. Or so I'm told!

Sky clear as a bell here in west Wales and that moon amazingly bright.

Ah it's very pretty, looks like a blood moon. Are those flying things birds or bats? I'm guessing bats unless they're birds with night vision specs.

That's unfair, tempting the rest of us to get up at that time and staying in bed yourself.
Thanks for the photo, I didn't get up either.
