   Summary Author:  Howard L. Cohen
   The  total lunar eclipse of May 15/16, 2022 was extraordinary as it
   was not only visible over most of the Americas but also its duration of
   totality lasted about 85 minutes. In addition, the Moon was at perigee
   and thus a  Supermoon. Unfortunately, cloudy weather occurred over
   some areas, including my location in north Florida. In fact, rain,
   lightning, and thunder during the early evening delayed me from setting
   up my telescope and camera. However, skies started clearing by 9:00
   p.m. local time, allowing the first good views during the ongoing
    penumbral portion of the eclipse. Though clouds now and then hid
   the Moon, I still managed to assemble a number of useful images for
   this eclipse composite.
