Yeah, but please be informed that the eclipse at maximum only covers a very small part of the moon (~20% according to WX) ...

Just so that no one gets disappointed after staying up late ...

I for one will be staying late, camping with friends ... then work tomorrow. HAHA ...

We, Myanmar Astronomy & Science Enthusiasts, had a chance to observe the partial lunar eclipse this morning. Luckily, the rain stop falling since 3 days before partial eclipse 2006 and no rain until now.

I'm happy to share some of the photos that we've taken this morning.

Photo taken through my previous scope, 114mm 700m reflector on fork mount.

Camera: Samsung Digital Point and Shoot
Method: Afocal

Cheers !!!
