It is pouring in Penang. Someone must have bought a new scope recently.

Never mind. I'll try to get the frown tomorrow : (

Damn clouds, I was hoping someone could image it.. but judging from last night's clouds... probably no one in Singapore even got to see it.

Smile from the Night Sky

hello everyone, i'm a newbie.

I saw the 'smiley' last night, albeit the moon was rather clouded and so looked more like a tiny pout than a proper smile. It lasted only a few minutes before the clouds covered both Jupiter and the moon, leaving only lone Venus.

Tonight, I was out looking for the 'frown' but it was far too cloudy. The moon was only vaguely visible.
