Lunar Eclipse tonight
 

There will be a lunar eclipse tonight, well in the early hours of the morning, with the full eclipse being between 3am and 4am approx.

I'm going to set my alarm clock to take a quick look.

Yes, noticed this. Unfortunately after over a week of clear night skies & freezing temperatures in Manchester, todays the day it clouds over... :(

Hoping the clouds move out as I don't want to wake up for nothing.

Did anyone manage to have clear skies and get pictures of this?

Well I set my alarm for 3.15am and went out to be greeted with complete overcast sky...clouds everywhere.
And I spent the most of today feeling really half asleep.

I saw nothing. I'l have to make do with these photos taken by viewers that had a better view of the sky.
Apparently the clouds shifted towards 5am to catch the final parts, but I was back in bed by then.
