This should be a great photo opp tonight, unfortunately for us the best bit will be from 3.25 a.m. Thursday morning (if you can call it that) lucky for us TCO can't sleep so I expect some great shots please mate.

Also lucky are our friends across the pond, who get to see this all happen Wednesday evening "GRRRRRR".

LOL Barry.
It's like the tree falling in the woods isn't it.
If nobody was awake to witness 3.25 a.m. on a Thursday morning, can you prove it actually happened?

How weird Lorraine, exactly the same happened here, actually I very rarely sleep well, but last night was particularly bad...

Have faith Barry, somebody on the forum will see it, you already got a cool looking shot!

Oh Merv, we could've chatted on-line and kept each other company, if only i'd known lol.

Even if i set the alarm clock or stay awake, it probably won't do alot, already got thick fog, at 2 this morning, couldn't see end of the garden, let alone the moon

Great Shot Barry

Well it is now raining in Not so Sunny South Wales, so I won't bother setting the alarm. I'm sure that someone from another part of the world will post a image here tomorrow of what we have missed.
