Who in the UK is flying for the bloodmoon / eclipse ?

That's all kicking off in about 4 hours if you're in the UK. Anyone tempted to get a flyer up there to record the red moon ? People who live here will know we are approaching the end of a 20-day heatwave, and there are some storms circling, although the BBC says there is just 11% chance of rain in the bit where filming could happen...

Anyone got a plan to do that ? I am sitting on the fence personally, and know / fear the consequences of getting caught in the rain with a Typhoon. Although I do see I have 2 packs for the TH ready to go if I'm gonna go for it... so... would you ? Or do you think it's a massive waste of time because of the miniscule size that the moon appears in our footage ? I guess even in 'once in a lifetime' events like this , it might not be worth doing if the only difference in the footage is that 4 pixels that were white normally, are now slightly pink ! I think I've talked myself out of this !

Typical. Two months with hardly a cloud in the sky and on the big night almost the whole country was covered in it.

Yep, even if I'd wanted to record that, there was cloud everywhere, and not the slightest sign of a moon, red or otherwise in a sky at all
And now there are 40 mph winds so no flying today either !

Just seen this thread so a bit late to the table...

Nope. Given how large the moon would be in footage taken with a CGO3+ I wouldn't bother. As it turned out hardly anybody got to see it anyway because of the cloud cover. I live in the North of England and it certainly couldn't be seen from here.
