Moon pictures after a finished dinner.

There were many passenger planes flying by while trying to take pics of the moon.

I tried to take pics where the moon is the in the center, surrounded by clouds. But everytime i zoomed it, it just focus on the dark black sky with no clouds.

If not, it looks like what u see in the last pic. Well at least i get to see the moon again and 2 stars.

Rainbow after heavy rain

Saw this big round rainbow coming back from work. Can't believe the sky turns so dark so fast

Yes with some clear skies. I managed to see a tiny Venus at the bottom and Jupiter near the moon. It was a crescent moon.

I think i saw Jupiter from my house?

Writing my 1st experience of trying to see planets from my house.

Been looking at the sky for the past 2 days but it has been cloudy and today happened to be a clear night.

I saw 2 little white dots from my frontal house which is facing west side.

i believed the lower dot i saw was Venus? I saw it for a while then it vanishes to the dark like 10 minutes?

But the other dot i saw which located like higher which was not flickering was Jupitar, i think? i took my monocular telescope and tried to focus on it, i saw it strips but i also saw spinning? Cuz the strips since to be moving from left to right every time i tried to see. My hands were tired holding the telescope. I was standing outside the house.

I also used my phone to take pics, but it was so blurry and it was a little white dot.

I then tried to see it again from my room with the telescope. And i believed i saw an asteroid at front of Jupiter? It was moving like center then it was on the right side, then back to the center. It made me so confuse cuz I couldnt see the dot round but an asteroid silhouette.

After 30 minutes trying to capture it with my phone and camera by putting at behind the telescope, my arms got tired and next thing i know the dot was not there cuz the clouds has covered it :( .

Update: I did bit of googling and turns out the asteroid i saw was actually Jupiter's moon, Amalthea. By looking pictures of its moon, it matches what i saw that night.
