Uh oh... now what?
The moon, Jupiter, the Pleiades, and Aldebaran will all be on display
if you have a clear sky to the west shortly after sunset... an hourish.

The moon is in waxing crescent -- just starting to fill.
Okay, back to your regular programming.

Hoping maybe they'll be some much brighter stuff that may drown that

(forgot to look last night, but I didn't see any reports this morning on FB)
Oh boy... we have clear sky to the west and north.
Sleeping bags are in the car, off to a dark place about 8:30.
Thank you AKTrail...even though we are on the bare edge of chance,
it is always worth looking.
We don't start getting dark until about 10pm these days. I remembered the Lights earlier in the "evening", then realized it was still broad daylight.
