Apparently it will be at "peak" at 20:37, thinking that's EST.
I think I just heard Keith Martyn say 22 minutes past 7 it will start.

There's a thread in the Photographic Forum section of AFF that is starting to get pics linked to it.
Ally_Pally has already started with the first one.

The only cloud in the sky, and guess where it is...
 Made for some good shots actually. I'll post them up once I'm done. Anyone know how often these things happen? Cheers

i just had a look and the moon is almost totaly gone, just a very faint brownish edge visable if you look hard.
if i hadnt been keeping an eye on it to know where in the sky to look you would have trouble finding it. and not a cloud in the sky was on the news tonight that the last time was year 2000 and it will happen again in 4 years.
