We normally have "dark skies" but, as PaulR says, it's full cloud cover oop North right now.

I'm off out to town in a few minutes and go several miles through country lanes, so if the Moon is at all visible I should see it.

I took a couple of images yesterday afternoon just after 4pm, knowing it migh be obscured tonight.
Not impressed despite moonrise a few minutes earlier.
Where do I get a refund?

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
Total cloud cover here in London, so nothing to see.

Well we did see it, on the way home, but it was not as impressive as I thought it might be.

Hope no physical changes happened then.


"" It was largely viewed in the 17th and 18th centuries that a werewolf’s transformation was supernaturally influenced by the waxing and waning of the moon. In the 19th and 20th centuries this idea went even further, and the theme of man turning into wolf become solely dependent on the full moon. ""
