Here's the U.S. Naval Observatory, "The Sky This Week:"
". . .the morning of the 8th, the Moon undergoes a total eclipse, passing through the northern half of the earth’s shadow. This particular eclipse favors residents of Hawai’i and the west coast, but we’ll see a substantial part of it here in the east before Luna sets at 7:16 am EDT. If you’re up early that morning, the penumbral phase begins at 4:15 am. Half an hour or so later you may notice a subtle shading encroaching on Luna’s left edge which will gradually become deeper until 5:15, when the Moon encounters the edge of the umbral shadow. Luna should be fully immersed in the shadow by 6:25 am, and mid-eclipse will follow at 6:54. . . If you miss this one don’t fret; there will be two total lunar eclipses visible from the US in 2015!"
So, for Pacific Daylight Time, full eclipse is at about 3:25am and continuing. Mid-eclipse, about 4am.
