Details:
With no wind during the day to stir up local desert dust or to escort smoke in from elsewhere, the Earth's shadow's notch into the Moon, slight as it was at 8%, was evident right from the start to the end of the umbral eclipse. Even much of the end of the penumbral phase was obvious to the eye (the penumbral eclipse started minutes after sunset hidden behind the hillside). The view through 15x binoculars was better still. The wide photo is a composite of the original wide photo plus the telephoto's view shrunk accordingly to better represent the naked-eye view, and it also shows Saturn towards the upper right corner. Both photos were taken near the time of maximum shadow coverage.
