My name's Barry. I live in Sydney Australia.

We got a reasonably good view of the eclipse of the moon last night. Was cloudy to start with, but cleared up later when the full eclipse happened. The event began about 11.45PM and ended about 2.45AM, so we were in a good position to see it all. I'll share some of what I saw here with this video

Man, haven't seen any of the Lunar eclipses this year at all. Maybe in 2014 I'll see the next total one, it's actually visible from all of NA.
 
Let's hope you guys get to see the next one too!
