Did anyone see the end of total lunar eclipse Mar 14 ?

This evening, just after sunset, there was a total eclipse of the Moon, visible from the Americas, but in eastern Oz only shortly after moonrise, only the exit from the umbra. I tried from Bathurst, but is was embedded in thick cirrus clouds and when that cleared up at 19:45 AEDT I same only a penumbral phase.
Did anyone see it ?

Fabricated clouds locally. Not a glimpse of the partial.

Turned out a nice night and I should have taken my small scope up to the local lookout where the skies are darker because I have a few friends who want to see the moon up close (too many hazards in my yard to have people stumble around in the dark).

I managed a fine binocular view of the final 30 minutes through cloud layers close to the horizon here in Kingston, Tasmania. The final faint diming near the edge of the Moon gave way to a fully disk as cloud bands washed across the field of view.
