Yep - clear skies and a lovely, big bright moon tonight in Dublin.

Here's hoping it stays like that for tomorrow night (well, not the "bright" obviously).

Irish Met says it will be cloudy tomorrow and overnight. BBC/UK Met is less pessimistic. Cloudy in the west at eclipse time, but clear in the north and along the Cork/Waterford coasts. East coast may be hit and miss, but mostly cloudy.

Is Ireland the only country that can have wall to wall high pressure and still be cloudy? :mad:

And here she is tonight .....

Hopefully the skies will be as clear tomorrow night!

Some nice clear skies out there this evening, if anyone gets some good shots of the moon rising please post them.

The moon tonight looks spectacular at the moment. A glow around it. Stunning.
Not sure if I can remain awake for the main event:D

get the feck in. it looks spectacular tonight. as it pushes up from the horizon it will appear smaller.

I'm working nights outdoors tonight so can't wait for this . Knowing my luck it will be cloudy

DanC90 · 27-09-2015 8:44pm

The Supermoon itself looks amazing! Hope I can stay awake to see the eclipse later on

Not great quality but it is quite misty here in Limerick

Just waiting for the moon to move up a bit higher from the bushes to see it in the garden, but quite cloudy/misty at the moment in Co. Dublin just like that picture above. It might clear up later hopefully.

Unfortunately, the horizon was a little cloudy this evening, but here's a few shots of the moon rising above the Wicklow mountains. These shots were taken from the Curragh in Co.Kildare.

I think I saw 2am on one site? I actually came here to find out... I thought there'd be more buzz about it on here.

[edit] Good site that shows time vs coverage: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/ireland/dublin
