If like myself, last night you were looking forward to blowing the dust off the lenses and getting out there to photograph Lunar eclipse after having counted the cost of boldly braving the sudden nocturnal cold snap as nothing but, also like me you are a citizen of Sydney, you're probably feeling robbed for the most part this morning.
Clouds at low and high altitudes conspired with relatively high winds to make the whole thing a bit of a fizzer from our point of view after all.
None the less, the same was not the the experience for other astronomy amateurs buffs (and professionals) across Oz.
I've put together a sampling below of what we here in the Harbour City missed out on seeing for ourselves last night.
Will let them speak for them selves. Enjoy.

Stargazers, space junkies, people who like the outdoors & pretty much everyone should see #SuperBlueBloodMoon tomorrow (Wednesday) night. #Perth, as always, will have spectacular views - clear (mostly) unpolluted skies, great position! From 7:48pm AWST https://t.co/nVrPDLZrPJ— Peter McLean (@McLeanPeterJ) January 30, 2018

My Grandmother used to say to me that "nothing good happens in Darlinghurst after dark" anyway.
Wise woman.
