Hi,
There will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse at 08 September 2006 (Singapore Local Time). Timing are as follow: Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 00:42:23 Singapore Local Time
Partial Eclipse Begins: 02:05:03 Singapore Local Time
Greatest Eclipse: 02:51:21 Singapore Local Time
Partial Eclipse Ends: 03:37:41 Singapore Local Time
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 05:00:20 Singapore Local Time
Please note that above timing is Singapore Local Time, which mean that it is on Friday Early Morning.... You still had to go to work or school after this...
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.
