Anyone else out there getting a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse?

Here’s what star/moongazers need to know:
Wednesday’s total eclipse phase will last nearly an hour. Earth’s shadow is expected to blot out the moon beginning around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m. on the East Coast. West Coast skygazers will miss the start of the eclipse because it occurs before the moon rises.
Currently it’s 10:03 here on the east coast, and the moon is partially covered, and it is darker than normal outside.

Update – 10:32 PM: Ok, I’m declaring amateur photo hour here at the ST blog – here’s about the best I could do with my camera. The pic was taken about 15 minutes ago:

Ahem. We’ll call that the “abstract” version of the lunar eclipse …

Satellite was hit.
Your photo looks more like Mars, ST.
Yup, dead centered that sucker. Of course, the response is predictable. If it’d have missed, the Dems would whine about how we’re wasting all of this money on missile defense, now that it was a success they’ll say we’re guilty of aggressively destabilizing the world, militarizing space, and generally being mean to the Chinese and Russians, and needlessly threatening the N Koreans and Iranians.
TOTAL cloud cover in Loooosiana
