Not that they are anything like as spectacular as total solar eclipses...
For anyone interested and in the nighttime at the moment there is a total lunar eclipse well on the go now.
Not yet total but soon will be.

Hi Joe
Fortunately and quite rarely........we do.
As against the comet when there was not one clear enough evening when it was really around :sad:

I got a nice red pink moon :dance: Looks like Mars

One other thing is when does this happen is it every year?

It fascinates me.
Managed to get a few pictures.
Trying out my new Nikon 70-200 f2.8 + Nikon 2X converter.
