Ad Astra Observatory

After a cloudless week, the longest stretch since autumn, I left town for a couple of days, only to come back to clouds on Sunday. There were clouds and a bunch of wind on Monday, and then it rained for a good portion of the afternoon and again overnight.

I woke up to clear skies this morning, though, and even sighted a very thin new-minus-2 crescent moon very close to the sun’s glare.

Clear Sky Clock doesn’t look completely clear for the next few days, but the rain yesterday felt like a last gasp. I would be surprised if it rained again anytime soon. Of course, this spring has been full of surprises, but that’s my prediction.
