The above sequence shows the march of the earth's shadow over the moon. I was not able to capture the very beginning of the eclipse due to rain showers. The end of the eclipse was cut short by a building cloud layer near the horizon as evidenced by the last image in the sequence.

Additional eclipse images can be seen at the SpaceWeather Eclipse Photo Gallery at SpaceWeather.com.
