Details:
Like many I was supposed to be seeing the Moon in occultation with the Sun for the total eclipse, but the virus took care of that. Before that there was a Lunar occultation of Venus in bright daylight. This is the imagery before the occultation. As it happens so often in total Solar eclipses the clouds and haze came in before the big event.
This image was shot at 600 mm FL using a Vixen refractor and a Nikon D7100 camera modified by Lifepixel for 820 nm infrared cutoff. This yields the dark sky, but it still doesn't cut through the clouds and haze. All the images after this were progressively degraded until the Moon and Venus disappeared.
