Stargazers across the country found conditions difficult as they tried to get a glimpse of the rare event.  

Watching from Botley, Ian Marriott said: "This was the best I could get of the full moon last night through the clouds at 10pm ish."

Another member, Mark Bentley, posted this shot on Facebook at around the same time, writing: "'The Wolf Moon'. The first full moon of 2019 and to be followed later on tonight/Morning with a Luna eclipse and Blood moon."

But others struggled to get a good shot, with Bryan Robertson noting: "Don't know about anyone else but I saw nothing of the Eclipse, cloud cover and mist put paid to that, I had a one minute glimpse at 5:45am as we drove up to Leafield but it vanished as soon as it appeared.

"The next one will be a six minute one in 2021, the next big one is apparently 2029.

"So this was my last effort in September 2015."

Mark called that shot 'a poor grainy consolation for what should have been a super photographic event', which seems more than a little harsh on himself.  

Going back to last night, and Becca Collacott posted this lunar image, which shows the moon in a slightly different light. 

Impressive as they are, most photographers seem to have been hoping for more impressive colouring and certainly less cloud. 

Stuart Curran admitted: "That's as close as I'm getting", with a picture of an orange. 

But yesterday wasn't all bad for moody sky images, with Michael Nottage snapping this lovely scene in Iffley Meadows on his morning walk.
