    Look out east now, a lovely view of Jupiter and the Moon reasonably close rising together.

    Glad you put this up, I was just marvelling at this, but didn't think about it enough to twig that "the star" next to the moon was obviously jupiter.

    Lovely sight.

    Noticed this last night rising over the Coral Sea from Cairns. The presence of Aldebaran made a nice triangle. I tried to take photos but I'm not very good at night shots and they came out crappy.

    As an aside, it's nice to get an opportunity to see the southern sky. Orion looks weird with Rigel on top. Canopus looks brighter than I was expecting, but I haven't been able to see the Magellanic Clouds yet through the street lights (I thought they'd be bright enough to see anyway).

    Are you in Cairns to view the total solar eclipse?

    Indeed I am, though I'm also on a working holiday visa so I can stay over here for up to a year. I just hope it stays clear on the morning of the 14th - the first few mornings have been a mixed bag with regard to cloud amounts.

    Did you see the eclipse, by the way?
