I suppose it would have been visible about dawn where you are - which means not visible. It was very overcast here for most of the eclipse, except for a short stretch of about 4 or 5 minutes, just at the beginning of the full eclipse right around midnight when the clouds parted and I could see stars around this blood red marble in the sky.
The white crescent was at the top of the moon and as it gets smaller and smaller, gradually you can see the dark portion turning red. Dark, faint red at first, but eventually fiery blood red, and three dimensional like a marble rather than the flat white disk we are accustomed to seeing during full moons.
It was almost straight up, so it was hard to find a good thing to stabilize the camera and at the same time get under it to see through the viewfinder - all of this making it impossible to hold the camera for the two to three second exposure. Still, I am not unhappy with what I was able to get.
