Always enjoy seeing those, and this is the first one I've seen in a few years where clouds didn't ruin the night. I didn't bother with the telescope (I've got a 8in scope) because I frankly don't think it would have done that much, plus the thing weights in the range of 60 pounds and that didn't seem like much fun to move at 2am. The shadows on the moon are what give a sense of depth when using a telescope, so under an eclipse I'd imagine that you're actually going to get a flatter image of the lunar surface.

Unfortunetly for me, the damn clouds obscured the actual eclipse itself. But on the bright side, I could still see it's effects and got some really cool photos of how the clouds were from the eclipse.

I enjoyed seeing it (hated the cold weather though). If I had known about it sooner, I probably would have had the intelligence to get some sleep and then wake up when it was happening instead of staying awake until 2:41am to see it reach full eclipse before finally getting to bed. Duh on my part!
