cloudy to the south-east (Toronto)

Clouds. Boo! Looked at the Moon with the binos. A large crater, along the terminator, in the north hemisphere, was eye-catching. Sinis Iridium? Dark Plato to the right. Orangey hue.

Looked straight up. Double-Double, Vega. ζ (zeta), δ (delta), Sulafat, and Sheliak.

Could not see Altair. That would make it difficult to see the nova...

"eye catching" moon? That's the nicest thing I've ever heard you say about it.
Must be getting soft in your old age.
