    Hi,

    Is there a Lunar Eclipse due tonight (Sunday, 10th August) at around 10PM or something?

    There will be a partial eclipse on the 16th of August, according to this.

    Thanks for that link. I have since found out too that it'll be starting at around 8PM, right?

    Yeah, give astromomy ireland a call and they will give you more details, like vantage points. Hopefully it will be a clear night.

    You don't need too much advice. Just go out and look. It will be in progress as the Moon rises and for a few hours after that. It will only be a partial eclipse, but even that is something good to see, particularly if you have never done so before.

    The low cloud cover here (near Claremorris, Co Mayo) was significant in the earlier part of the evening (8pm-10pm). However, as the moon ascended in the night sky towards the southeast/south the cloud cover was far less and I did catch the final stages of the partial eclipse. I've cropped a photo I took and attached it here.
