Partly Cloudy Eclipse

Tonight I was able to see part of the lunar eclipse.

May 15 eclipse, lunar eclipse, cloudyMy first view of the eclipse was through the clouds as the moon rose over the roofs to the east. You can just barely see the red moon through the clouds.

It was cool to see another lunar eclipse. Perhaps next time the sky will be clearer and I will use a tripod 🙂
