I also managed a good view and photo of this. What really supposed me was how many people expected it to actually be blue!
My observational notes for this are below.
Night of 30th - 31st August 2023: at 2200-2230 BST. Rising above the SSE rooftops from the garden in cla gaps in cloud, and later in cloud-sheet. Used 9-27×56 on a tripod and the 8x42 ED mono. Handheld. No obvious terminator visible. Later at 0110-0120 BST seen through cloud sheet. By dawn was clouded out! An interesting and rather beautiful observation and a useful prod to look up the blue Moon name again.
