Regretfully, from the Callanish point of view, I was moving house and settling in with my new family when the moon was low in 1987. The amazing photos taken then were down to Margaret and Ron, and I hoped to see this when I went up recently - only my third return visit to Lewis since I left in 1984. However, while we had an amazing moonrise, the moon disappeared behind cloudds mid-transit.
Give me a day or two to re-organise some pages of my web-site (tomorrow, Saturday) I hope, and there will be a 3-page 'blog' about my recent visit, with moon pics and justification of why we want to see this event. Also, I've updated my table, which will give the 'best' times to be there in July, August September - even 2nd and 3oth June next year, you'd still get the moon setting among the stones.
Table will be at : http://home.clara.net/gponting/page45.html
