The nasa eclipse page had it as totality for 4 min 43 secs http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/...2015Apr04T.pdf

It was a close graze for sure, very subtle transition. Here is one of my least exposed pics from around mid totality? I think that overall it was red enough to look like a total eclipse.
