Total Lunar Eclipse of Beaver Moon

Beaver Moon aka Blood Moon: I bet you have seen lots of photos of the full moon eclipse today, but I am adding mine to the collection anyway. I ventured as far as my driveway...hence some trees in the scene. It was windy and a chilly 5 C, and I was just rolling out of bed at 6 AM to haul on some warm clothes and take a look to see what I could see. The partial eclipse was underway, and the total eclipse was beginning at 6:15 AM. As the eclipse progressed the sky got brighter, the moon sank towards the horizon and was obscured by some low clouds and the trees. I took a series of photos and merged about 20 of them and then only kept the ones that didn't overlap too much. I am sure there is a better way to stack these in photoshop than having to make numerous layers and masks so one of these days I may try again.
