The cloud cover disspated - as of 8:30 pm, it is a nearly clear sky. Cold and windy, though. If it hangs in like this, I should be able to get photos of the lunar eclipse. In the meantime, as I have done in the past, here is a photo of the full moon (prior to the eclipse - not taking any chances)...
This is with my Sony a6700 camera and the 50-210mm lens. Shooting in manual mode: ISO 400, shutter speed 1/2500, aperture f14 (for anyone who wants specifics).
If you look close at that lower left side, you can just start to see a bit of reddish color on the moon - the start of the eclipse. The Earth will come between the Sun and the Moon, resulting in a Blood Moon.
Tonight's Moon is called the Full Worm Moon, for the month when the earth "softens" and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of the robins.
