I have to say I'm very pleased with how this turned out. Minimal post-processing was done.

Too bad it's raining here in Arizona. Truth be told, I'd rather have the rain. We could use it.
Somehow, I think the moon will still be there when the skies clear up. Maybe not......who knows??

I'm sure the moon will still be looking down after the rain is done.

and totally missed it last night due to storms.

Missed beginnings night before due to 'forgot to look,' and kicking myself for that; 'storms' of various kinds forecast for next 10 days, so may miss much of this moon.

It's so very disappointing when the damn weather interferes. I have been very frustrated by heavy clouds every evening.

Hopefully, clearer weather is heading your way.
