Full cloud cover and rain forecasted at my locale.

The early hours might have rain clearing out around here. I'll be prepared though.

Lovely cloud cover until about 8pm. We have crappy air quality thanks to the 2 fires in the area, so I just closed my windows because my troat started getting scratchy. Even though we have moderate air quality, it is enough to start bothering me. I don’t know if I am going to set-up to get a few shots.

We have cloud cover and it's spotty, but it looks like rain and cloudy thru about 1 am here... It'll clear up right after the eclipse...

No prize on this one other than first to post. A jpeg nearly as it was saved on my Z5. No tracking telescope mount and kind of slow exposure with the ISO cranked up high. I could not get a spot where Polaris was visible and a tree not blocking my view of the moon.

Best I could get with my D500 and 500pf just a regular tripod.

My attempts were pretty bad. We had 2 fires in the area with lots of haze coming from the Laguna fire blowing into the area. The shooting conditions were terrible.
