The Moon is drawing closer to Venus, so this morning I made sure to drag myself out of bed and go out to see what could be seen. Thick hoarfrost coated the deck, and I only stuck my head out through the open sliding patio doors. Eastward, a sickle Moon hung over Venus -- lightly veiled by clouds, and not quite as near together as I thought they might be.
I debated with myself and decided to forego astrophotography because of the clouds and because I have some clear photos of the Moon and Venus (included here). Also, some times I want to observe and experience the skies without a camera.
More clouds rolled in, obscuring the stars, and provided a scrim for the rising sun's light show later in the morning.
