We were up. It was spectacular.

I happened to wake up at 2:40am so looked out and saw the eclipse, but it wasn't red so (assuming that was due to the lack of atmospheric pollution hereabouts) I went back to sleep.

Did I miss out?? Was the redness only apparent a little later, towards total eclipse?

(Afterwards I had such dreams! I wonder...)

It was definitely a sort of red here, but I couldn't say exactly what time it was (also just happened to wake up and thought I might as well have a look). Negotiating the shutters half asleep and trying to work out which way to look round the scaffolding on the front of the house was interesting, but yes, the moon did look completely different from how it had done when we went to bed, so it was worth looking .
