I remember seeing the total lunar eclipse back in October 2004 in Florida. That was a good one. Though I will not see a full one this time in Texas, it should still be an interesting partial eclipse at moonrise...

The bottom part of the moon is starting to get darker and darker.

I just can't get a good shot of the moon, so no photo's from me. Maybe later, when it's going to emit a red hue.

There's no possible way we'll be able to see the eclipse, there's still too much rain and clouds over FL to see anything. Looks like I'll have to wait till August.

The moon looks very red on my photos at the moment. Totality ends in about 20 min.

Nice clear view in North Jersey! A breif dip behind a small cloud at one point, but nice and clear otherwise.

It was a great eclipse to view.The Sky was clear and the total darkness climax was spectacular with a redtype appearance (Look at photo below).Right now (9:16 PM AST) almost all the moon has light as it comes back after the climax total darkness occured at 7:21 PM AST.

Got a clear view of the eclipse here as well, although the moon was 1/4 covered.

We didn't see it here. Although it was cloudy, we could see it was still a normal white. :( :( :(

The only eclipse I've seen was the Solar Eclipse on Christmas Day 2000.

I've uploaded some of my photos to here. Best photos I've ever taken of the moon. What I also found interesting was just how fast it was moving across the camera screen on a 10x zoom.
