The Moon sets shortly after the eclipse reaches full.
And there will be dawn light too.

Got my alarm set for 4:30.

Anyone else find this sort of thing amusing?

The moon low on the horizon making it appear extra large and the dawn light creeping in behind your back; should be a good show!

I viewed it from Mount Carbon in Lakewood. A few minutes before the full eclipse started, the moon disappeared behind some clouds. It was right above the front range and wouldn't have lasted long anyways. Image is from 4:57am through binoculars.

Not a bad pic through binoculars!
Sadly, from my vantage point clouds shrouded whatever was happening. Morning light was also on the horizon. Oh well. I have seen one in the past. Pretty cool if you've never witnessed.

Next lunar eclipse (partial) will be on 19 Nov 2021. Stoked, not planned, but I'll be in Moab that week running the Dead Horse Ultra!
