Sky & Telescope, October 2, 2014

The second total eclipse of the Moon of the year will be early this coming Wednesday, 8-Oct.
Totality begins at 3:25 a.m., PDT, and lasts for about an hour.

And the forecast is for fair weather for most of the far West,
...unlike the last one, back in April.

Here's another source of viewing info on Wednesday's lunar eclipse, from Space.com, with some cool, handy graphical guides:

For example:

The times on this map are UT = "Universal Time" (aka, "Greenwich Mean Time"). Subtract 7 hours to get Pacific Daylight Time, etc.

Thanks for the Space.com link. Good stuff. Here's a calculator to get specifics for a given location.

Thanks, highz -- that calculator is very cool and handy!

Using that calculator, I see that from Bend, Oregon, the Moon will be towards the WSW (233°) and medium low (39° above the horizon and dropping) when it enters totality at 3:25 a.m. PDT. So if I want to see this well I need to be somewhere with a clear view of the southwest - western sky.
