Yep! It looks red like the planet Mars has come for a visit  :-)

Where's a Slim Whitman record when you need one  :lol:

Ta, Blobzie, I would have missed it if you didn't say!



Okay, maybe a digital is not the best to try to photograph it  :oops:

Playback of the recorded footage looks great. Unfortunately taking a photo to memory stick is not the best feature of my Sony camcorder  :boohoo:

@ Mel

Sorry you missed it. To begin with it was like watching a solar eclipse in the way that the moon goes across the sun. I thought the moon would just briefly go yellow and not go red for a couple of hours or so. My poor quality photo above was taken at about 1:30AM as the moon was about to go white again.

@ X-ray

I'm sure a nice photo will appear here before too long :-)


@ all

Anyone know when the next big solar or lunar event is?

Link is not working


@ La Blob

Looks like we all got the same sort of deal. That big one underneath sure is nice though, I like that a lot.
