Some Quick Resources

 The Two Things to Watch For

  • The various hues and colors appearing on the Moon's face and especially at the edge during the various phases of the eclipse.
     
  • The darkness degree at the middle stage of the totality. This is estimated using the Danjon scale of Eclipse darkness.
     

DANJON's Scale

0: Very dark eclipse. The disk is barely visible
1: Dark eclipse. Details on the Moon's surface hard to see. Gray, brown coloration
2: Deep red eclipse with dark central region
3: Brick red eclipse with yellowish edge
4: Bright eclipse copper colored to orange, with a bluish edge.
