A prelude to the red moon

There were big expectations on 21 January 2019, for the full lunar eclipse, coinciding with 'super moon' (the moon at its closest orbit to the Earth, 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal).

Where I live, the full eclipse was between 05:40am and 06:40am. Unfortunately, from 5:30am, the sky got covered with a thick layer of stratus clouds. So no red moon or full eclipse to see. :-/

However, despite the uncooperative weather, there were a few breaks in the clouds in the run up to the full eclipse.

While there was no chance for a beautiful iconic shot of red moon, at least I could see some of it from the comfort of my balcony :)
