How to observe tonight's Double Eclipse (15 June 2011)

[MarkS]

Tonight's total ecplise of the moon will itself be totally eclipsed by cloud.  This presents a rare viewing opportunity to see the cloud eclipsing the eclipse.  Watch carefully to see them obscure the moon rising in state of total "double eclipse".  A powerful pair of binoculars is all you need to see the wonderful detail in those horizon hugging clouds.

  Blimey Mark it's a bit early to be on that 'Weird French Stuff'.....!

It's certainly looking like we have a 0% chance of seeing anything (as usual).

  (wish we had one of those rolling over in hysterics smiley's as that really made me laugh)

Been looking at various places in Kent and Essex for viewing it.  Every-where seems to have cloud, but Isle of Sheppey and Isle of Grain look to have the least as well as some of the Essex coast. 

Bummer.

There is a chance here on top of the downs at about 10pm to see it, looks like the clouds will be broke, I'll have a look out the window later.

It's clear at home at the moment
But it won't last for much longer

Ive got gaps in my cloud here,

I got a glimpse through thin cloud at about 10:00pm. The view on the BBC was better.

Saw the Moon through the pesky clouds AFTER the eclipse was over

I drank beer until my eyes eclipsed everything
