Arggh, what a brief moment of pleasure at 9:15 pm...a blip in time before the cloudcover emasculated Venus's brightness. Not even Jupiter could withstand the mean clouds, though it managed to reappear, along with a few other bright stars that I have a hard time identifying since there are no constellations to connect the dots! Lucky me, I could make out the handle, and Mizar/Alcor of Ursa Major, but forget the rest of it--even with binoculars--its spoon was invisible.

That's sort of a rant; I hope others had better weather, and longer view time. At least there was a lovely warm breeze to go along with the salmon night-sky. :x
