May 2021 Lunar Eclipse

The Moon slips into Earth's shadow. Totality occured a minute or two later, but from my location in central New Mexico, it was lost to increasing mirk as the moon dropped toward the horizon. The stars (center to right) are Omega 1 Scorpii, Omega 2 Scorpii, and Graffias (Beta Scorpii). I judged this eclipse to be a darker than the norm.
