Eclipse, what eclipse ?

It was with much anticipation that I set the alarm last night. At surise this morning there was a partial eclipse of the moon, I had arranged to meet up with my friend Monica in Crossmoloina to photograph the sunrise and eclipse over Lough Conn. its a forty five minute drive , and it was clear to me even in the dark as I set off that it would be too cloudy for us to see anything but I just hoped it would clear if only for a few moments. It didnt, so we sat in Monica's car and drank coffee, (thanks Monica)there were just a few moments when a tiny piece of pink colour appeared in the clouds and we jumped into action. even that tiny bit of colour only lasted a few seconds. It will be several years before we get to try that again!!
