Part 4 of this tetrad takes place Sunday evening 27 Sep 2015 for North and South America. First evidence of the partial phase begins at 8:07 pm central daylight time. The total eclipse phase begins about an hour later at 9:11 CDT. Totality lasts a little more than an hour ending at 10:23 CDT.
The timing of this lunar eclipse is very good for viewers in North and South America. It begins when most people are still up. If sky conditions are not overcast, it will put on a show all evening. You do NOT need eye protection.
You don’t have to watch it continuously. Look every 20-30 minutes. You will see the Moon change color and coverage as it transits Earth’s shadow.

I am just on the cusp of possible cloud cover, but I’m hoping the clouds will stay to our south. I’d love to see the red moon!
Keep your fingers crossed.
Hoping for cloudless skies, though the chance of clouds is pretty high for today. Thanks for the time estimates! 😀
