Bit late now, but would have been good on Wednesday for the lunar eclipse.

Nothing stopping us meeting again on Wednesday. What time is it?

The Moon is already in total eclipse as soon as it gets dark and eclipse finishes at 11pm. 
Was thinking of staying at home to image it personally as it's too much kit to bring to the field, but was just thinking others might like to see it.

Depends whether I can see the Moon when it rises from my garden, if I can I'll stay at home.  I can see SE (ish) so hopefully OK.

Very funny John  :lol:
What I mean is I want to check I can see it tonight (clouds permitting), i.e. is it behind or in front of the houses which block my Eastern horizon.  I am pretty sure it rises in front of them during the summer.
