A total lunar eclipse occured on the night of October 28. Parts of Norway had good weather, while large parts of Europe and USA was cloudy. The eclipse was shown in a live webcast at astronomy.no. The interest was huge, and we logged more than 2 million page counts during the eclipse. 5 cameras were located in Oslo, Bergen, Horten og Tronheim. Oslo and Carsten Arnholm had the best weather this time, and provided images for people over large parts of the world.
