That was a total trip.
First of all, so much better than last time. Comfortable hour, comfortable viewing angle.
So as the last little sliver of lit moon was still there, you could see the ruddy darkened part very clearly, but as soon as totality hit ... the moon completely disappeared into a L.A. night-lit sky that is the same color as the ruddiness.
It was like a David Copperfield trick of disappearing moon. So cool.
I'm gonna go back out in 45 minutes or so and watch it reappear. Neat!
