I was already going to sleep, until I happened to glance out the window at the magnificent reddish moon rising from the horizon. Put on your outdoor clothes and go to the yard to admire. I took a couple of pictures of the moon with my cell phone, which I wasn't satisfied with, the redness didn't show up. I couldn't bear to start adjusting it any more when I noticed Saturn above the moon, i.e. look to the left and Jupiter was found in the east. I took a picture of Jupiter and noticed the night clouds illuminating the north - northeast sky, well a couple more of them and then I went to sleep contentedly.
