I actually got to see everything this evening! I went to let one of the cats back in her house as it was getting cold, the next nasty weather moving in. I looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see a large hole in the cloud allowing the Moon, Venus and Jupiter to make a brief showing.

I was amused at the mistake. And sometimes they can be interesting too.

I hadn't spotted the stars, but your comment encouraged me to look. Two blurry streaks!

I'm so pleased that you like my "mistake" that much! It is something else.
