Well, judging from what Patrick posted, a NEAR total one. I didn't make it out to SPOC, but did get this shot from a small pond located in the Highbury neighborhood of West Valley City. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=6170&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
In full agreement with the assessment. It was never "total." That pesky piece at the top just never fully immersed itself into the shadow. Still, from my position on a lower east bench, the strong orange - not red was there. BUT towards the end of the eclipse, around 6:08, the disk went very dark, no color.

I think it was total. It was still bright on the upper edge but I think the direct sunlight was gone. I could be wrong. I only photographed it. I did not observe through the eyepiece. On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 11:21 AM, Joan Carman <jcarman6@q.com> wrote:

I would guess that it was total because those who calculate celestial mechanics can't get it that wrong. Probably Siegfried is right that the upper edge was just brighter than the rest. By comparison it might have looked white but wasn't really.
