Yesterdays Eclipse - Where was it on the Danjon Scale?

I agree Bart, I believe that it was a 4, the colour wasn't that brick red that comes with a 3, it was definitely a copper colour.

From where I stood it looked like a 3 for sure.
Very rich red at times.

At time it look like a copper colour while at mid totality it looked weakly red, my observations are not totally reliable as I was looking at it through haze which made it almost invisible at times.

I agree. It was relatively difficult to see the colour well at work because of all the arc lights and street lamps, but I took a stroll down the road to a darker spot for mid-totality and it certainly looked like a 4 from there.

Bart,

Definitely a 4. I know a camera doesn't show the naked eye view, and an 8 second exposure is even worse but from a colour point of view 4 sounds bang on. This was at mid totality by my reckoning around 23:24, no processing on the shot below:

Actually during between 00:10UT and 00:35UT while making a second sketch. I observed and sketched the retreating shadow as having a green tint to its edge,is it possible that yellow and blue photons mixed to give this hue, just like colours mix together to make new colours ???????????

Dee,

There definitely was a green hue to the retreating shadow, I captured it in the shot below at 00:05:50, no processing in this either:
