Lunar eclipse

On Sunday night I went and checked out that lunar eclipse. I thought I had missed it. It would of been nice to have the glass ceiling—the one that I always hear about—and a crystal roof to watch it through.

Any way, here's a quick and useless summary of my viewing of the lunar eclipse.

2240 - The moon starts to blacken. Only a sliver of white moon is visible.
2246 - The sliver on the left is being tailed by a sliver of orange from the right. Both look like less than 20% of the moon.
2253 - Only a wisp of white moon is seen as the orange takes over.
2311 - Moon is now entirely orange.
2313 - Moon has turned a dark orange.
0117 - The dark orange moon seems to of moved 26 degrees to the south I guess. Can't find my bearings.
0120 - Clouds now appear between me and the moon. Fast moving too. One third has started to come back.
0205 - Moon has re-emerged in white with a light covering of cloud.

I wish I had taken photos.
