First image is before the eclipse started (11:00PM). The second is at 1/4 in (11:45PM) and shows a slight darkening of the upper-left 1/4. The third is at 1/2 in (maximum at 12:30AM) and shows just a bit more darkening of the upper 1/3 of the moon.

It was not detectable to the naked eye at the time. I shot each image with the exact same settings and processed them to ensure the same settings were applied and brightness was adjusted based off a point in the lower half (one of the craters). No other adjustments were made to enhance the eclipse in any way.
