Here are some pictures of the total lunar eclipse currently happening across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. I’ll be updating the pictures throughout the night.

Update 00:13 4th March: As usual the Irish weather has come along and is trying to ruin the spectacle! A bit of high cloud cover has moved in which is causing photography conditions to deteriorate.

Update 01:46 4th March: Well the moon has now left the Earth’s Umbra so it’s all pretty much over. The cloud tried to ruin things at the end but was high and thin enough not to block out everything. All in all it was a pretty good night. It’s times like this though that I wish I’d invested in a Cannon EOS 30D or 5D but my old Fuji S5600 still produced some good shots.
