Hold on - all i need to know is . . .

Will it move half the length of the sky in one night - like in 2-3hours?

Tell me you teasing bugger

It will move from the East to the West in the space of one night. So in about 3 hours it will have travelled quarter of the way across the sky - approx!

Oh right .  .  .

don't really beleive her

Seriously - i'm releived - i get it now

But i'll be watching . . . .

At 10 pm tonight the moon was slightly right of South East, at 10pm tomorrow the moon will be slightly left of South East.

At 1 am tomorrow the moon will be almost South and at 4 am it'll be almost South-East and at 8 it will be in the West....but it will be below the horizon by then.

I see

(I don't y'know )

AMAZING sight driving home from work tonight around 7pm. Clear blue skies, sun behind me and full moon in front of me

Thats happened to me before

Moon in rear view mirror - sun in me face

My sky is totally clouded over. There is nothing to see here.

Last night, I went into the back garden and saw the moon, with Spica and Saturn to the left of it. Then I went into the front garden and I saw Venus and (I think) Bellatrix.

I bought a wee book on star gazing today, I think I've got the bug.

Mr Yogi said he's not surprised that I'm enjoying stargazing..............because I've always been wired to the moon!

Yes, and tonight they will be slightly above the moon and maybe a tiny fraction to the right of it.

Another overcast night....nothing to see again.

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun

Looks like it might be a clear night tonight - might get a chance to see something, but the Moon's not up 'til nearly 4am Saturday morning.

I've been outside looking for it.

I've got Venus in front of the house.

I've got her off to the side-front, but it's clouded over a bit, so there's not much more to be seen. I thought I had Mars at the back when I first looked out, but when it started flashing and moving to the north I decided it was a plane.

There were loads of stars in the sky last night, and Venus was very bright.

Thought my fellow star/planet gazers might like this video.

So beautiful Yogi, thanks for posting.

You're welcome Squiggle, I thought it was lovely, too.

That was wonderful Yogi. Thanks.  

Glad you liked it, Scotty.

Realy? I've been overcast for ages now. though I did catch Venus out the front and Mars out the back for a short while a couple of nights ago.

Last night was fab, there were stars everywhere - the "stariest" sky since I started watching.

Nice shot of the moon......sinking!

And....it's overcast again tonight.

I saw a shooting star once

No stars last night.

Tonight, for the first time in ages, I have been able to see more than just the moon and Venus. Admittedly, that's all I can see at the front, but theres quite a bit more to see at the back.It's a bit patchy though, so I'll have to do a bit of checking to sort out what I'm actually seeing!

I didn't check last night.

Aww Yogi, poor you and the forecast for tonight seems to suggest a fair degree of cloud cover.

I've got hailstones atm, so I don't think stargazing is on the cards tonight.

No precipitation here, but about 95% cloud.

A quick glimpse of the moon (for about 10 seconds ) around 1 am....and that was it!

Although there was a fair sprinkling of stuff in the sky the other night, it was sufficiently patchy that the only things that could be identified with any degree of certainty were Mars, Arcturus (in Boötes) and The constellation Corona Borealis, which is slightly left of and slightly below the constellation Boötes.

Corona Borealis is quite distinctive and reasonably easy to identify....once you know where to find it and generaly how it looks.

For the same reason the Gardenwatch has been a bit of a dead loss, the Moonwatch has been somewhat unexciting for the past few days.

However the sky's looking fairly clear for tonight (up here anyway) so there might actually be something to see.

Last night before dusk, there was a big moon in my bit of sky.

Big fat moon out there right now Think it's full early hours of tomorrow morning.. and there's a perigee tomorrow .
