Steve,
At the beginning, I didn’t observe the reddish color either; however, I started to notice “iron oxide” color near the mid totality, especially towards the bottom rim area of the Moon. The red shade appears more obvious on photos I took with a digital camera without long zoom lens.
QHE,
I guess I didn't wait long enough then. Mid-totality of the waxing process is about when I gave up. I figured the moon was just gonna get bigger and bigger until it was full again, without much change in color.
Here's an animation of the eclipse process that night. I gave up looking around 8:50pm PDT, which is around 10:50 CDT. Perhaps I should have been a little more patient.
Thanks for the wonderful pics and YouTube links, QHE.
I especially liked the violin concerto of《我的祖国》accompanied by the illustration of some nice images. The activity between time 5:08 and 5:28 puzzled me a bit 'cause I've never seen it before. I had a hunch though that it had something to do with barley.
