[Jdsixtyone]

[HonestPirate]

Can someone provide pics so I can print an A4 up and stick it on my window and like shine a torch on it or something....

 

[Jdsixtyone]

I will try if i dont fall asleep by then

 

[HonestPirate]

Woohoooo !! Thanks mate- now; please go and drink 17 coffees and relax ;P

what time is this happening in the sydney area?

 

[Black.Rabbit]

around 11:30 in Sydney I hear....

Damn living in an apartment facing the wrong way... can someone post when you can see it decently in Sydney so I can go down ALL those stairs and have a look, for the sake of saying that I saw it?

 

[HonestPirate]

I think I just heard on Sky news that its "visible" between midnight-ish and 3 am.

 

[Renenet]

Well, the bloody moon is clouded over here. Everyone in Cairns, look at the sky and blow very hard!

 

[thals]

There is rain, clouds and no moon in sight here either, hmph.

 

[Renenet]

Can anyone see this thing? We need commentary!

 

[Black.Rabbit]

It's happening... turns out I can see it from my bathroom window if I sit on the toilet... don't ask how I figured this one out... but yeah, it's started in Sydney

 

[Renenet]

Thanks, Black.Rabbit of Inle!

 

[Black.Rabbit]

Thanks, Snakemadness. I meant to look for a webcam and kept getting distracted.

 

[Jdsixtyone]

Here is a picture of how it is now.

 

[HonestPirate]

OMFG - the clouds have parted and RIGHT HERE from my PC I can see the moon as clear as day !!!! (pun intended)

That link from Snakemadness is pretty rad though- the commentary is nerd-cool.

Where we are we could see the moon a few hours ago and it was a nice redish colour . After a few minutes of viewing it though it went behind some clouds and is still currently behind them.

 

[HonestPirate]

From here in BrisVague It is ALMOSt half covered- actually its almost identical to the pic Snakemadness just posted !!

 

[Renenet]

I'm still relying on the webcam. I can't even guess where the moon is. And, oh great, it's started to rain...

I still have hope. This thing lasts a long time.
