Big Brother / Sister

Yep, it's that time of year again. I'm not too bothered this year, as I think it has run its course, apart from the idea of an all female house. Should prove a novelty. I find it more interesting to watch all the people who say they aren't going to watch it and then start coming out with stuff that is happening in the show.
Anyway, I didn't mean to come here and talk about Big Brother, but rather about how beautiful the full moon was last night. I couldn't sleep and, rather than wake Tree with my restlessness, I sat and watched the clouds tracing their feathery patterns over the surface of the moon. I recommend it as an aid to sleep, as in no time I was feeling tired and went back to bed and nodded off. I just hope that the Summer solstice is as clear a night as last night

Loony eclipse.

Well done to Dan for reminding me about the lunar eclipse last night. I was thinking it was going to be about 1am but noticed it was already happening at 10pm. A bit of a race to get the telescope out, but I managed to get a few photos. Unfortunately the camera had a problem with the image being dark and they weren't as sharp as I would have liked. The moon at the height of the eclipse went a beautiful shade of orange and resembled Mars, which was cool. As the pics are all very much the same I have just posted the two, a sort of before and after thing.
