Title: Partial Lunar Eclipse 16th Aug 2008
Post by: Brian Finney on 15-Aug-2008 09:20:29 UTC
Just for info

The penumbral eclipse will begin at 18:23 UTC, with the partial eclipse beginning at 19:36. The time of greatest eclipse is 21:10. The partial eclipse will end at 22:44, and the penumbral eclipse will finally at 23:57.

The planet Neptune will be visible in binoculars as an 8th magnitude "star" just two degrees west and slightly south of the moon.

Although weather forecast doesn't look good.
