Default Lunar Eclipse now!

Anybody know what the (integrated) magnitude of a total eclipse like
tonight's would have been? Even in 100mm binoculars it was on the dim side,
though admittedly the dew didn't help...

I picked it up here in E Arkansas just at the Umbra
was about to touch th Aristarchus Plateau. I could not
see the "umbrated" side, but I had some haze to the East.

Checked it while ago as the Mare Imbrium was exposed
and I feel like the eclipse will prove to be darker than expected.
