Not an optimal lunar eclipse from where we are - not at home either, unless you feel like waking up at three in the morning for a very short totality of a setting moon.
Full details from Sky and Telescope - I think I will sleep this one out. It would have been fun to video but I will wait for a better one...
Saturday Morning’s Total Lunar Eclipse
An unusually brief total eclipse of the Moon will be visible before dawn this Saturday, April 4th, from western North America. The eclipse happens on Saturday evening for Australia and East Asia.
The total eclipse of the Moon on Saturday, April 4th, will be the third in the current "tetrad" of four in a row at half-year intervals.
As was the case last October 8th, this lunar eclipse favors westerners in the U.S. and Canada. And once again many will need to look low in the west as dawn brightens — lower, in fact, than last time.
But in another way this time will be different. This eclipse will be just barely total — in fact, you may get the impression that it never becomes quite total at all. The Moon's north-northeastern limb squeaks so slightly inside the umbra (dark inner portion) of Earth's shadow that it will remain much brighter than the deep red we can expect across the rest of the Moon's face.
