Dec's Guide to the Night Sky for Amateur Astromomers - including Melbourne weather

[outlander]

Thanks for explaining that @Owlunar
Id love to write more but im so flat but i appreciate everything your writing and im reading them and admiring and learning

[Owlunar]

That's okay @outlander - you can just read and take it in - we all have flat days - oh my did I ever feel flat yesterday - but today I seem to be okay -

I must - I have found some pics of Mars and they are great - I will post a couple here but there are stacks

These are great images - maybe because Mars has been visited by probes from Earth and those little go-cart things have been down there and taken lots of pics - but from the sky - these are fantastic

Mars is names after the god of war - Mars or Ares - maybe because it seems to wander far off and return and when it does return it is bright red and unmissable in the night sky

Hi Niqua - I hope you are well today - or if not - you are the best you can be - gotcha about that one - I really do hate being told to have a good day when I am in the supermarket - I might have other plans

Meanwhile - back to Melbourne weather -

@Owlunar i had a very overwhelming diagnosis on monday and faced 2 fears yesterday
But thats on my other thread

[Owlunar]

Hi @outlander

I did notice something you wrote on your other thread yesterday - I wasn't quite ready to say anything then - but it's okay this morning - it's a huge thing to face and come out with

But to quote something I heard on TV recently - artists see this as fluid rather than fixed - without saying too much - it's okay with me though

You have been facing confronting fears lately - one after the other - and the only person I have ever noticed being more afraid than I am - I am the freak artist - I am glad to know I am not alone

I will no doubt find your other thread sooner or later - but if I don't - that's okay - I mean - what you wrote is okay

Hello @Owlunar, as we've just had a full moon and you mention anti-clockwise, does that mean we're in waning gibbous now?

Hi @Former-Member@Owlunar@outlander@Former-Member and everyone else

I'm just coming onto the forums on Monday & Thursdays to give me some boundaries and discipline incase you were wondering.

This morning about 6.10 am took the dog out for a whiz and the sky was so clear, you could still see the stars and venus was so bright and beautiful to look at. It put a smile on my face after a crappy day.

Hi @Change123@Former-Member@outlander@Former-Member@Former-Member

The moon sets at 12.38pm today - that's around lunchtime - so if the sky is clear you will be able to see the white moon in the western sky this morning - but here we have some cloud in that part of the sky so alas - unless I stand and wait for the spotty white clouds to love a bit I am out of luck looking myself

Hi Change - I limit my time here - so that is a good thing - we need to be able to attend to our ordinary stuff - I understand that - and enjoy the time we do spend here - I cherish this time but yes - we also have our - as you say - crappy days here and there - and I am so glad you saw Venus this morning - it is brilliant right now - and so easy to find

This thread is popular so I guess it will be running for a while yet - I have to think up more things to post - and the interet has a wealth of information

Thanks for joining in

Hi Niqua - yes - we are in waning gibbous atm - and few a few days the moon is visible in the western sky during the day
