Shoot! You're completely correct. This is what I get for looking at eclipse diagrams before getting coffee.
Good catch. Thanks.

Seth, the October eclipse this year is visible from Utah. The moon will be setting after totality ends, in a penumbral state. It is not visible in Africa at all, which is in daylight during the eclipse.

It'd be a _real_ shame to have to travel to Europe of Africa to see it!
The next total lunar eclipse visible from Utah will be April 4, 2015 - pre-dawn.
Fingers crossed for clear skies tonight!
