A photo, with a digital SLR and an ordinary lens, of the partial lunar eclipse this morning, looking nice and red:
By the time a longer lens was fitted to the camera, low cloud had bubbled up and hidden the moon. (We should have been better prepared: we will be for the partial solar eclipse in a fortnight.) In fact, the moon was nearly set anyway, as can be seen by "enhancing" the picture above, making the horizon visible:
A bit later, the sky was light, with an amazing contrail disappearing into the distance, as if following the setting moon.
You can identify on this picture where the moon was above, by comparing horizon profiles. (The spike pointing to the moon is the pylon on the right.) And yes, that position is still in cloud.
