Apologies for the length, but I actually had a sky once again! It's been weeks of bad weather and thick gray clouds.
We start with Jupiter shining brilliantly at 5:47am in the South along with its 4 Moons, then onto Mars and a Star in Ophiuchus. Saturn finally rises out of the trees and a 10% Crescent had to fight black mucky clouds but it eventually won the battle, with a Sagittarius Star called Albaldah blinking next to it...as I skated & crunched on the ice in the backyard. :)
5:41am-6:22am, Monday February 12, 2018, NE Ohio, 23°F (-5°C) - in the South & SE Sky
