Raver32 writes "Tuesday morning, Aug. 28 brings us the second total lunar eclipse of 2007. Those living in the Western Hemisphere and eastern Asia will be able to partake in at least some of this sky show. The very best viewing region for viewing this eclipse will fall across the Pacific Rim, including the West Coast of the United States and Canada, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand and eastern Australia. All these places will be able to see the complete eclipse from start to finish. Europeans will miss out on the entire show, as the Moon will be below the horizon during their mid and late morning hours."

I made two video simulations of the eclipse - on as it would be seen from Burning Man (which is happening next week, 2 hours northeast of Reno, Nevada) and one with the vantage point being the moon itself. Videos were made using Starry Night Pro (on a Mac, of course!)

Video 1: As it will be from Burning Man
Video 2: If you were on the moon

Both are H264, no sound.
