I observed the partial lunar eclipse at the Manila Observatory, Philippines. At first, I thought I'll never witness this eclipse in my area. It was cloudy the whole day and started raining at 7:00pm. I still took my chances to see the lunar eclipse even though I would miss the maximum eclipse part. Amazingly, the sky slightly opened at 8:20pm and all of us who patiently waited were very happy. I'm glad we still saw the moon in umbra from 8:20 to 9:00pm. :)
