The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.
Skies were pretty clear down here for the duration. I went out around 2100 to see the beginning of it, then about 2230 to see the "blood moon" which was barely visible, but you could see a faint rust colored disc.
Wish I had a powerful telescope last night.
Did not meet the uber-hype it received, for sure.

January 20–21: Total Lunar Eclipse
Here are key events for the total lunar eclipse on January 20–21, 2019.
It's been more than three years since everyone in the U.S. has experienced a total lunar eclipse — the last one was September 27–28, 2015 — and skygazers are hungry for another! As the graphic at right shows, the eclipse will last almost 3½ hours from the beginning of the partial phase at 3:34 UT until it ends at 6:51 UT. Totality lasts 63 minutes, from 4:41 to 5:44 UT.
The timing of this one, with mid-eclipse at 5:12 UT, gives everyone in North America a ringside seat — though it'll be a late night for anyone on the East Coast. As veteran skywatcher Joe Rao notes in Sky & Telescope's January issue, the eclipsed Moon will appear high in a mid-winter sky, and this event occurs on the Sunday night of a 3-day holiday weekend in the U.S. So if it's clear that night, you'll have no (good) excuse for skipping this wonderful celestial event.

Moon to appear red in January lunar eclipse
An upcoming total lunar eclipse will cause the moon to appear blood red for about an hour to stargazers in North and South America.
The eclipse will begin the evening of Jan. 20 and last until the early morning hours of Jan. 21. The entire eclipse, including the partial phases, will last between 9:36 p.m. EST and 2:48 a.m. EST, according to AccuWeather.com. The moon will appear red for a little over an hour, between 11:41 p.m. EST and 12:43 a.m. EST.
All of North America, South America and a few areas of Western Europe and Africa will be able to see the eclipse.
In a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the sun and moon in just the right way so that the shadow of our planet is cast entirely cast across the moon, according to Popular Mechanics. A lunar eclipse displays the color of all of Earth's sunrises and sunsets, causing the moon to appear red, NASA Scientist Noah Petro told Space.com. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called "blood moons" for this reason.
