Nice of the cloud to clear up for us tonight as it was 99% cloud at 5pm but now totally clear.
Watched the shadow creep across before and had a look now and its red, looks great.

Curiously it was easy enough to view with the naked eye, but hard to see with binoculars... just too dim.

"It is a commonly held belief that the Moon appears larger near the horizon as a result of some kind of magnification effect caused by the Earth's atmosphere. This is not true, although the atmosphere does change the color of the Moon. "
