Apparently the sky is supposed to be red about now. It's too cloudy to see the moon here, but there is a red tinge up there. What's it like with you?

grey!!!!! it's throwing it down! chris.

Black, black very black!

It's very pale blue towards the south east just above the roof tops. Almost like day. The rest of the sky looks very dark, but there are lots of stars and planes. Can't see the moon at all. I thought the sky was supposed to be red or brown. Sue

The total eclipse will begin at 2052 BST and end at 2208 BST Crista

No sign of the moon over Epsom Downs at all. Still lots of stars and planes though. The sky is completely dark apart from the glow from the lights on the M25! Sue

Me too Terri! Still can't see the moon though :o( Just been outside for another look. Loads and loads of stars and planes but no moon. It's really weird, normally when the sky is this clear the moon is very bright. But The moon isn't there :o( Well I can't see it anyway! Sue

Hi everyone moon looks good from down here in Portsmouth, Just a small silver glow at the bottom Malcolm

Moon! What Moon? Its as black as the Earl of Hells waistcoat as my dear late mother used to say!

I SAW IT :o) Sorry to shout! It was behind some very tall trees. I hung out of bedroom window standing on a chair and I saw it :o) Browny orange with a sliver of white/silver at the bottom. Just off for another look. Sue

bottom half of the moon now back and shining mal

I just love all that enthusiasm! Great that some managed to see the special sights. Still no moon showing here, just the distant glow of the lights near the Channel Tunnel entrance.

Can see the moon, it has a browny reddish cloud around it and it looks like a black bite taken out of top of it and bottom of it is very bright. Sky is clear with lots of stars. M.
