[paulastro]

There's a chance to observe the last quarter Moon in the early hours tomorrow morning - Thursday.  It's forecast to be clear over most of the country, and the temperatures here up north a nice cool 16 degrees C.  May as well get up and observe if you're indoors laying away in the sticky heat!

At 2.05 am the Lunar altitude is 13.5 degrees, at 03.00 it's 22, at 04.00 it's 30 degrees.  Dawn is at 04.23 when the Moon's altitude is 32.5 degrees.  Of course if you in the south you will gain another 3 degrees or so depending where you live.
