Subject: moon eclipse Sunday 16 july 2000

Dear Sirs,
On Sunday last,16th of July, we here in Australia were treated to a magnificent full eclipse of the moon that took over 90 minutes. However at first I thought that the only way we would see the eclipse would be on the simulation on Mapmaker.
The previous four days had been fine with almost no cloud, the nights were frosty (minus 2 to minus 4C) and crystal clear, but Sunday started out with a high overcast that developed into almost 6/10ths cloud by late afternoon. At 5pm (dusk) cloud cover was complete and light rain commenced, This continued until nearly 9pm. To say the least, It wasn't looking very good for stargazing.
And there on the computer screen was the red ringed black orb approaching the white disk of the moon.
But the gods smiled on us for as the white disk of the moon was turning red on the computer screen, the clouds began clearing and there at about the 10 o'clock position in the sky shimmered the full moon.
The eclipse was just commencing, and for the next hours we watched as the eclipse ran its course.
To see the full disk of the moon being completely covered by the shadow of the earth is a wonderful sight.
The night remained crystal clear and as where I live has very little artificial light pollution, it was a magnificent occurrence. It had better have been for the astronomers tell us that we wont see another of that magnitude here until the year 3000. Some how I don't think that many of us will be too bothered about it then.
This is just to say how well your sun clock did in showing the event and although it could never equal the real thing, had conditions not improved as they did, it would have at least shown me what was going on.
Many thanks for Mapmaker, a truly ingenious program.
