The weather wasn't promising, but I had to get out with my fast telephoto 
and Majestic tripod to try and get something, since the moon is closer than 
it's been for a while.

People flocked to the Lake michigan shore to have a look:

Soon after this it went into cloud, and while waiting to see if it might 
emerge through an opening, I got a shot of an airliner:

The moon did show again, in hazy cloud:

Then it started to get cloudier, so I thought I'd head home, but as I was 
loading my tripod in the car, I noticed this:

And this is my favorite of the night, the last composition:
