This is a late night / early morning eclipse.

Hear is a link to put in your city and see what timeframe you have to view it.

My time is 4:03 am at it's peak. :# Oh well. The moon has been super bright lately since we haven't had much cloud cover.

    weather forecast here is not propitious, unfortunately. :/

    Mrs. H and I happened (!) to wake up at 4:10 am ET this morning, so we staggered around and looked out some windows... the weather had cleared considerably, the sky was (of course) quite dark & the stars were stunning, and we finally did find the eclipsed moon when we looked out a west-facing window. The clouds quickly obscured it, but we did see it, briefly. :)
    Needless to say, in my groggy state, I didn't even think about grabbing the camera & taking a piccie. :|

    I'm glad you got a chance to see it.

    I always wonder what humans from our past thought when they saw these events.

    Dang Doc you should of thrown on a copy of Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds to set the mood although enjoying an upbeat state instead of a groggy state. I slept through it as it was cold and overcast.
