The angle to the horizon at mid eclipse will be 33 deg in London, roughly south. Therefore, anywhere with a clear southerly aspect. It's the moon so local light sources are not so much of a problem. If you are further north, then it will be lower in the sky.

Saw the last one & it was pretty cool - think I'll be in bed for this one though! :lol:

Nice to see GMT used after the politically correct brigade renamed it UST and cost us umpteen trees re-issuing paperwork

EDIT: its cloudy and wet, fat chance :(

That pic looks like those horrid Venn diagrams that I hated at school. I have never used a Venn diagram since!

It was a clear cold night, 10 degrees Fahrenheit and I pretty much lost the feeling in my fingers!

Ace photos!

There were some academics on Radio 4 this morning, debating whether the universe theory is now defunct - they were suggesting that we have a multiverse. Awesome.
