Its been a while since I have seen the sky, so was surprised to have a small break in the clouds this morning. This is in the context of starting yesterday with being woken by a robo call telling me that the nearby Barron River was rising and I need to consider my evaluation plans. (I was not flooded).
Mars and Saturn were about 4 degrees apart and Mars was appreciably brighter than my previous view. Jupiter, however was brilliant, which was a good reminder that opposition is not far way (May 9th).
I considered using a grab & go scope to view, but several lightning flashes across an 80% clouded sky brought me to my senses.
