With the Moon just barely inside the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 53 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 14 minutes and 36 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 03:01:50 UT.
