Photo with Saturn

| Sun setting around 6pm - not looking hopeful | Moon battling with trees and clouds in the east - as usual (7 pm) | Venus shone brilliantly through the clouds in the west giving some hope ... |
 |
 |
 |
| Approaching 8 pm - Moon not clear from Backyard yet! (Bresser) | Checked out Peter Grego's live webcam in Birmingham and found he had a clear Moon! | Last bit of cloud just before 8 pm then the skies cleared and miraculously stayed that way!! |
From 8:16 till near 9.30 pm the moon was still in the penumbra
Check out Jodrell Bank website
Moon enters the umbra
Nothing much changed till nearer 9.30 pm when the earth's shadow began to appear

Tal picks up the totality (me and my camera struggled!!)

 |
| Moon grew redder as the shadow grew | By 22:44 the Moon was in total shadow until 23:21 when we are half way through | The Moon began to emerge from the umbra region at 23:58. |
| Grimaldi emerged again as the shadow started to pass and the full moon looked almost like a crescent! | 
|
Stars of Leo were clear round the moon as it
dimmed. Saturn was brilliant further west Didn't stay for up for the end of eclipse at around 2:30 am! |
