jupiter, the Moon tonight
Great evening (but too windy to take pictures); met with friends on the field and observed Jupiter (with 2 other stars and the moons, forming a giant T or later, a scorpion: M44 is near the Moon which is right on top of Jupiter; and look at Shroter Valley being bathed by grazing sunlight !
(I also raised the "Iraq conversation" but the only answer was "it's sad").
