Slept right through it. Big full moon this
When I got up and took the dogs out this morning it was eclipsed only a cresent showing
I’m sorry I missed that. It is something to see.

Saw the eclipse "starting" (~2:20AM), but all I saw was some dark shadows starting to move over the edge of the face of the Moon. Checked it again around 2:30AM and the shadows were a little more noticeable. I went to bed after realizing it would be another hour or two before any major coverage would appear.
I saw it a 4:30 it was just past total eclipse. I had not seen that we were having a lunar eclipse. I was a little surprised when the full moon from last night was just a sliver this morning

Yeah, I took a couple of pics, myself, (zoom & no zoom) and both pics look like the Sun with flares coming off in all directions.Quote:

But these were taken when the eclipse first started and there was only a slight darkening of the lower right quadrant of the Moon, so I wasn't really expecting them to show much, anyway.
The camera apps do some amazing things. That night mode is automatic. It does brighten the photo considerably
