It IS a total lunar eclipse. Totality will be visible anywhere on Earth that it will be nighttime between about 07:41 and 08:53 GMT, with partial and penumbral phases lasting about 2 hours on either end of that.

I caught a glimpse of it before the clouds came in during totality, then left right after. LOL.

Awesome, I wish it hadn't been completely clouded over and raining here...we had just bought a telescope and would've loved to use it on the eclipse.... but at least I didn't have to make myself wake up at 4am to see it.

Stayed up late, but THIS is the only moon I got :

Stupid clouds!

Thanks for the photos, as with most people in the west, I was under clouds and rain/snow all night and missed it.

I woke up at 3:30am and thought about looking at it, but I was lazy to roll over and look out my window.

The lunar eclipse was amazing. It was raining earlier but then I still decided to check and the clouds were breaking up. Between rain showers and drifting clouds I was able to capture a few photos.
