Thanks for your interesting report Steve.
I was fortunately that the clouds parted just prior to the main event. However, thin cloud prevented me from having decent observations of anything else.
So I enjoyed the spectacle of the strangely red and dim moon. I wished this would happen every month!
When it was all over, I also enjoyed the unusual sight of the full Moon. I mean, it was really full. I normally see some shadows from craters on one side, either north or south. However, it was perfectly full, and perfectly round, except for 2 small mountains (or crater walls) extending beyond the Moon's circular edge.
