I'm sorry that it was cloudy, Jo. It's really the worst when you can't properly see it due to clouds (or due to light pollution, actually).
I watched the lunar eclipse with most of my family (sadly, Valia had already left). We had a pretty good viewing with limited light and clouds. The moon was simply beautiful through all of the stages of the eclipse that I saw. I had stayed up late as it was and I decided not to stay up any later to watch the eclipse end, but I stayed out there for at least a couple of hours, I think. The moon was very bright, when we first went out! I was using the camera a bit, so I was having some contortions in my vision due to closing one eye and looked at the extremely bright moon with the other! But it was quite lovely, even with the mosquitoes and vision issues.
