The Moon & The Clouds

The Moon & JupiterI guess the fact that the upcoming full moon is coinciding with a serious amount of cloud cover (and precipitation) is a good thing. Hopefully, the following week/weekend will provide us with some clear skies to go with the waning phases of the moon.
I was out briefly last night. The Moon looked cool as it struggled to shine through the clouds. Eventually, it managed to simply climb over them for a while. The whole thing looked a bit eerie early on... but felt much nicer as the evening progressed. Hopefully, tonight will allow me to observe without the threat of a wet telescope.
