For some reason I didn't seem to be too motivated about this eclipse; dunno why, but I didn't bother hauling out any of my telescopes for a good closeup. Rather, I used my digital camera with maximum zoom to take these shots.
First up, we have an image taken near the time of the umbra's first contact, taken from the back yard with the moon between some trees. Note the three street lights in the image. The other image was taken at mid-eclipse.
