Anyone else try to catch this overnight? It was fully visible until the moon was around 80% covered and minutes before turning red, then fast forming clouds suddenly overtook it (if you're in Calgary). Worst timing, especially because most of the sky was still clear at the time, it was just where the moon was that had cloud cover.

Hearing about how amazing it was on the Twitter was such a tease, especially with Mars right next to it and at its brightest point in 6 years. Would've been cool to see all that live..
