Now coming out of totality at the bottom...
Appears dark rusty-brown and darker blotch in the middle.
Very spoooooooooooooky, really brings out the barbarian in me.
Time for a blood sacrifice??

UPDATE- I was very wrong, the moon has been getting deeper and darker red and has been totally covered for a long time.
Very hard too see at present, Dark hole in cernter is getting larger...
