The red color of the moon you will see during totality is reflected light from sunrises and sunsets ringing the earth.
Totality is lookin very not quite red but definatly dark orange its like THE GREAT PUMPKIN

I was looking at it and when the eclipse was in full, I noticed that it really did look like a pumpkin. I think I'm turning into Gina.

I did take a bunch of pictures... I tried doing a time lapse as it arced across, but the moon is high, and with nothing to frame the picture, my exposure settings were off and most of them didn't turn out. I do have one so-so picture at full eclipse, but again it's nothing special. Guess I'll leave the cool pictures up to people who don't everything up.
