Total Lunar Eclipse tomorrow morning (21st December) - A Viewer's Guide
I've been watching for almost 2 hours. It looks like the shadow is covering more than 60% of the moon now. Currently 2:17 am here in Ontario, Canada.

I'm glad that I got to see it with my own eyes. The eclipse entered totality at around 2:40-2:45 am here. It was really amazing. The sky is very clear here right now, which made seeing the eclipse extremely easy. I watched it from my back deck laying down on a bench. It's about -11 Celsius here, so I was wearing a really warm coat, 4 shirts, 2 pairs of pajama pants under my jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, a balaclava, warm hat, and the hood from my coat.   I was outside for almost 3 hours.

The eclipse began at around 6:30am here but the real show began at around 7:30am, as the last sliver of light from the Moon left and then dominated by the Earth's shadow. I'm so glad I didn't miss this!
BTW, what color was your moon, out of curiosity?

One of those events where I'm interested for about 5 to 10 seconds, then promptly bored. Saw it a few hours ago through the stage where it started moving away. Not much. The color here was brown, though.

Yeah that makes sense.
Okay I'll upload photos but don't expect expert photography - I had to hold my camera to my binoculars, while I was holding my binoculars!

Well I tried to get some photos of the various stages of the eclipse but that didn't work out so well. Most turned out blurred because I couldn't hold the camera steady enough, but one did come out pretty ok
