PENANG: Overcast skies, which hampered the viewing of the total lunar eclipse from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), did not deter some 30 moon-gazers from waiting till 5.30am yesterday to catch the event.
Armed with telescopes, cameras and computers, the astronomy enthusiasts gathered at the Palapes field from midnight to capture the event, when the Earth was exactly between the sun and the moon.
