Here are the three pictures I got early this morning before cloud set in.
The last in the series was taken at 10:35 UTC, about an hour before greatest eclipse at 11:38 UTC – when more than 50% of the moon was in eclipse. Location – Los Angeles. I suspect the colour fringing in the last shot is a camera artifact, rather than an atmospheric refraction effect, as the frame is exposure enhanced (to counter a rapidly misting sky). :
“I suspect the colour fringing in the last shot is a camera artifact, rather than an atmospheric refraction effect, as the frame is exposure enhanced (to counter a rapidly misting sky).” Tim, I have searched for the color fringes but don’t find them. Any suggestions?

Jim, it’s very subtle and appears as a bluish speckle near the ‘terminator’. I think it’s just noise on the sensor.
