Forecast here is for clouds. Will probably get up anyways just to make sure nothing is visible.

The moon will be directly above my local college’s hillside emblem from my home - If the sky clears I will snap a picture of it (around 8:00 PM EST)

Lunar Eclipse looking good! :+1:

Really cool glow when it got fully covered!

Cool red moon this AM at my 3:14 am on 3/14

I couldn’t get my iPhone to get better than this It was straight up and I couldn’t Holt still in that contorted way for too long.

I was late and it was pretty cloud covered. I took a couple pictures and could see the glow and you could tell it was a crescent rather than fully round like a full moon should be.

Progressed a lot slower than the solar eclipse. Brightness of remaining parts overwhelmed camera sensors so pics seemed to overestimate portion not in shadow. Still saw a slightly brighter rim in totality than I expected. Wonder if earth moon distance was higher than average. Haven’t checked.
