It's often the case that we miss good astronomical events in the UK due to weather. But not last night!
This was the first time I can remember seeing a complete lunar eclipse, and indeed it was a lovely sight - by naked eye, with binoculars, or through a telescope.
The moon looked particularly eerie - like a slightly red ping pong ball hovering in the sky, and it was amazing to see how the rest of the stars shone like they never get to do on a normal full moon!

I'll be posting here my thoughts on technology and its application to business; fun gadgets; politics (but not too much), and the odd personal update now and then. But it's also an experiment for me so that I may better understand the potential this medium can offer.

Lucky you. We walked all the way up to the local reservoir to see the end of totality, at which point a great raft of cloud gently positioned itself in the way!
Needless to say, the sky cleared completely once the eclipse was over.
Still, we saw quite a lot of the eclipse anyway, and it was a grand sight.
