Had to fight with cloudy night to find a patch of clear sky.

Re: Tonight's Moon (04 May 2012)
Yeah, my wife and I are planning to head down to East Coast tonight for some seafood dinner and spend an hour or two shooting the perigee moon as it rises off the east ~ 8pm (as observed on Stellarium). Hope the sky clears a bit cos NEA says its gonna be cloudy (but this is NEA, so.....).
Last night the whole sky was bright red in the East @ 1pm, luckily I had that window ~ 9.30pm to get the a few clear shots before clouds came rolling in.

Thanks to wife again who spotted the moon in a clear patch of sky.
Fast hands fast legs setup my camera to take these few shots. Enjoy
With a bit of photoshop magic![[smilie=cute2.gif]](./images/smilies/cute2.gif "cute2")
Still not fully uncovered, wonder if tomorrow night's moon will be completely full?
