    Yeah, I can see it down here too (Greece). :D
    I can't see it from the computer though, so I walk to the kitchen once in a while.

    That's how I feel about it.

    I have been taking photos and will do so for the next 45 minutes or so, I reckon, so we'll see how they turn out. It's not often we have a really clear night for events like this.

    I tried to take a picture with my mobile and here are the results.
    It appears full, but I guess that's because of the way the lens handles the light.
    What is that smaller thing by the moon though? That stayed in the same place (in relation to the moon) when I moved the camera, so it can't be the lens, can it?

    I've just seen it, I didn't know that was going to happen!

    ETA: It's only partial here, nothing like as good as your photos.

    I assume you meant my photos. How are they "good"? It seems to be full, and it's not for the naked eye.

    It will become full in about 25 minutes.

    No offence, like, but why would you want to watch it live on the internet when you can just go outside and watch it there?

    I'm jealous of you people with a laptop and a yard... :( Or even just a yard anyway, I could stay away from the computer for a few.

    I don't have either of those, I'm on a PC looking out of the window. There is a park across the road but it is locked up after dark but I think I'll just go out in the street anyway.

    I tried to go to the roof and watch, but the door is locked and I can't find the key :( And I'm not into breaking locks.

    Just a faint light visble now!

    It was red a little ago, then nothing. Now it's really really faint, I can barely notice it.

    I can't even see it anymore, not sure if that's because the eclipse is full or because it has moved to a part where I can't see from the balcony. :(

    Yeah I saw it too... Very pretty when it went all red. :)
    Didn't think to take any photos of it... but I doubt they would have come out properly anyway.
