My son and I went up to Crackneck lookout last night just to see it rise over the ocean (about 6:40pm). Initially I say it was deeper red than the eliclipse. I tried to photograph it in a Nikon D40 with a 200mm focal length lens but it was just too dim in the photo's. What really surprised me was how elliptical it was (looking quite flattened initially) even after it was above the ocean. I was home about half an hour after the rise and it has lost most of the reddness, was a lot rounder closer to a full moon look, and was bright enough to capture on the Nikon with the same settings I had tried earlier.
