It was also cloudy this morning, but It's clear now (although the moon 
is not as close to Jupiter and Antares anymore) and I think I'll try it 
tomorrow morning (bad idea since tomorrow I'll fly for a business trip).

Next similar event is Feb-19 at sunset: the moon will be *VERY* close to 
Venus right after sunset. Probably more spectacular than my previous 
GESO: Venus will be only 1 moon diameter from the moon.
