I know what you mean Kymba all I get is a white dot too - very sad
But it's so clear and a lot easier to watch than a solar eclipse and just as exciting  |

It's a perfect sky here in South Cumbria too.
I can't remember the last time I saw a lunar eclipse so clearly 
Hope some of you got some good photos, mine just look like white dots too.
Excellent to watch though, very atmospheric |

Just had another look and the sky is still clear and the moon is about three quarters in shadow.
Looks like we should be in for a good show |

We've only got a tiny bit left, but the sky is getting increasingly hazy, so not sure if we'll get the full "copper" colouration when totallity comes. |

Wow I have been blown away, that was spectacular... an totally Sureal
At the point of total Eclipse it was like had sudden hung a ball in space, and it kept changing from almost white to an orangey glow, I know it sounds daft but it didnt look like the moon for about 10 minutes!!
It is the first one i have seen and am impressed... hope someone has got some good Photo;s of it, cant wait to see them |

Aboulutely amazing.... it's a crystal clear night up here in the Highlands and not too cold to be out with the binoculars. The colours are just beautiful, makes you feel very small in the grand scheme of things.
Have been 'phoning everyone to get out and have a look! |

I'm not that impressed by it here in Birmingham. I just went out for a look and, despite it being a lovely clear night, I could hardly see the moon. |

We've definately got the copper coloured moon apart from the very top which is still white. |

This is the best I could manage with my photographic kit. Not particularly good but shows the colour nicely. 
Wonderful sight and a perfect night for it.

Great photo West Lothian! I was doing fine until the totality when high ISO and no tripod did for me. My efforts from start to totality over here. |
