Lunar Eclipse Observation

I observed the Lunar Eclipse from about 2:30 A.M to 2:50. What I saw was basically the finally corner of the moon disappearing, and the entire moon turning into a blood red color. The entire process of the lunar eclipse takes hours, and what I saw was essentially the peak of the eclipse, when the Earth blocks all of the sun's light from reaching the moon. It took me a while to find the moon in the night sky when I woke up to look for it, as it was way darker than it normally is, and blends in far better with the nighttime sky.
