2019 "Super Moon" Lunar Eclipse
Difficult viewing on this one given the storm passing through the bay area. I searched the weather apps for a spot where there might be partial clouds, and ended up driving to Pacheco Pass in hopes of getting a glimpse. From there I could see occasional views of the moon through the clouds as the eclipse was starting, but then the hole in the clouds completely covered up and rain ensued. While on the roads driving dejectedly home I could a distant star underneath the cloud layer giving hope that maybe there was another break. Ok, long story short, ended up in San Martin w/ a decent cloud break and snapped this.
When processing in lightroom I slightly brightened the areas outside of the moon to expose a few stars. Also, I left my UV filter on by accident; not sure if that had an effect on the abnormal star shapes.
