Up at 3.15am to view the total Lunar Eclipse . A very short eclipse but very beautiful. We also saw Jupiter and it's 4 moons and Saturn and it's rings ...and I saw the Big Dipper clearly over head which was a first for me.
I can claim no credit for our girls viewing these sights. I was the grump that reluctantly set the alarm and vowed not to get out of bed. But when my husband dragged himself and the telescope out into the cold clear night/morning ..I thought I better show willing and the sights were beautiful.
Can I confess I was a bit tired later. I'm very lucky he is keen on sharing his interests and Wonder and knowledge with the girls it certainly makes life richer for us all.
Meg's snap of the Eclipse. Proudly taken with her own camera.
