About this image

After a very wet Sunday I set my alarm for 3am BST (0200 UT) without much hope of seeing the eclipse. When I woke up there was a bright Moon in the sky but there was quite a bit of cloud below it. I got set up and managed to get a few images but the Moon sank into the very slow moving cloud and I lost it just after this shot. I had a fleeting glimpse of part of the crescent around 0320 UT but the sky was already getting light very quickly. Anyway, better than I had hoped for from here.
