Zoomed in a bit to show coloured rings of corona, caused by diffraction round small cloud droplets
Large faint arc is 22 degree halo in high cirrus, smaller coloured rings round moon is corona in lower cloud
Battered moon rising, squashed by refraction, slashed by cloud and an eclipse biting off the top #LunarEclipse
Umbra leaving the moon shortly after moonrise #LunarEclipse
