dark skies

Walking home, from the bus drop off, gibbous Moon to my left, I noticed the sky rather dark! Huh. Impressive. No backscatter of sodium lighting. Arcturus guided me home. Vega was almost straight up.

It was tempting to do some observing... But I wasn't really keen with the bright Moon. Which is only going to get brighter over the next couple of days.

Once in the door, I was feeling pretty tired.
