There will be a lunar eclipse tonight April 14th/15th 2014. It is the first of 4 total lunar eclipses to happen back to back to each other over the next two years. The next eclipses in this series will be October 8th 2014, April 4th 2015, and September 28 2015.
Eclipse starts on the west coast at 9:55pm as it enter preumbra. not much will look like anything is happening at this point. 11:00 pm the moon starts to enter the umbra, here you will see the the eaths shadow touch the edge of the moon and slow enter until it cover the moon totally. totallity begins at 12:08 am (now in the 15th) and reaches center of shadow at 12:46 am and ends at 1:23 am. It might be better for you floks on the east coast to set your alarms for 3:00 am if you want to or it might make for a really long night.
I got work to do today and I'll geter' done ASAP so I can have a power nap and then get my camera ready. I've been waiting to try out my new telephoto.
