Double shot!!
New Zealanders will get the rare opportunity to observe a partial lunar eclipse when the shadow of the earth partially obscures the moon [....]
The eclipse will be visible to the naked eye in all parts of the country on Saturday, June 26, with the best viewing available between 10.30pm and 12.30am.
This is tonight.

Comfortably numb
High light cloud here but moon is visible and about 50% eclipsed at present.

Same here in Dunedin. My daughter's trying to get photos, but the cloud is stuffing it up.
Edit - about 60% coverage now, but cloud thickening - sod it.

Farout! My moon is having an eclipse too. How bizarre
If I'm 2hrs behind you lot over the ditch, does that mean my eclipse will last longer then yours?

I think NZ had better viewing than Oz, but no matter - the Aussies can just claim the NZ eclipse as "Australasian"...Farout! My moon is having an eclipse too. How bizarre

The magic is in the rubbing.
didn't see a damn thing...those awful north island people sent their clouds down here last night. You dont' have to share your crap weather with us. I'm pleased to add that upon awakening this morning the sun is shining, the sky is the most glorious shad eof blue...perfect day for riding.
(bugga, I can't but whoever is out there today, have fun and stay safe xxx)

Half a chance to see through the perpetual fucking cloud cover'd be a fine thing wouldn'it?

I know the feeling.
I phoned the Carter Observatory in Wellington, and asked if they could postpone it until a better night, but the bastards wouldn't do it...
