About this image

I'd mainly imaged what I coud of the eclipse before clouds moved in using my Dwarf 2 on a window ledge upstairs out of an open window. I ran off a few iPhone shots mainly intending to catch the halo in the wider field of view but most of my images had over-exposed the Moon, as had this one but not as much, creating a curious effect with a piece of Earthshine looking more like the middle of a lunar eyeball.
