I went ahead and set the lawn chairs and the table with binoculars in our backyard. My daughter deployed her Canon
The weather was perfect with clear horizon. The Moon came out at 19:50 with eclipse already in progress. We had ~30 minutes to watch the Earth shadow onset with total eclipse starting at ~20:30. It was the longest (over an hour) and deepest total eclipse I ever saw. Apparently, it was longest in a century.
Here is one of the shots of the totality taken by my daughter. She is developing into quite a photographer.
It was unusual to see fainter stars in binoculars so close to the full Moon disk. Totality was long enough to see the Moon shifted over one degree relative to the field stars. We even observed occultation by Moon of mag 5.5, HIP 76106 star in Libra.
The Moon is a bit soft in this shot (also taken by my daughter) but it shows occulted star nicely.
After onset of the totality, we went to house and brought out our food. We had dinner watching the blood Moon slowly rising and Scorpio head with red Antares clearing horizon below.
Around 22:00 full eclipse ended, and we were watching unusual Moon phases created by the Earth shadow sliding off.
Over the course of the eclipse me, my wife and daughter had fun sampling the views with Celestron (Vixen) 20x80, Orion 15x70, Nikon 16x50 and 8x40 binos. All produced nice views, but we favored 15x70 and 16x50.
I would say it was the most dramatic lunar eclipse I ever saw. Having perfect weather and sharing it with my family made it even more special.
