Great view tonight of Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter fanning out from the nearly full moon. Antares and Spica playing supporting roles.
If you have decent lenses, you can clearly see 3 or 4 moons of Jupiter.

Pretty cool to see something traveling 17,000 miles an hour that's 250+ miles above us flying by. With people in it. Pretty cool.

Not so much here, at least for us Easterners. The combination of approach angle, lack of clouds and darkness was a fairly rare confluence here.
