In memory of a perfect lunar eclipse

Late-night clubbing sometimes has advantages. I got home about half
past two in the morning and accidentally came to witness a next to
perfest total eclipse of the moon (particularly when the sky's been
overcast for about a week and we only got that one single night of
clear weather.) The seeing was as good as it usually gets in a city
with 160,000 inhabitants (i.e. clear enough to see Orion's sword
without binoculars) full moon riding high in the sky with the shadow
of the Earth slowly turning it a dusky reddish-brown, the brightest
stars in the sky playing the supporting parts... (Would Lupin
transform during a lunar eclipse, would you say?)
I want a Time-turner to relive last night again and again.
