Its a nice bright moon tonight with a trailing Venus I presume.

Bonus points for anyone who can be bothered to take a moonshot and post it up today January 6th 2022 oops! 7th January 2022

One entry would be a success...

Our house front windows look out WNW and the back windows ESE. Unfortunately being a semi we only have one window on the side which looks NNE so I simply cannot see the moon currently at 181 degrees with an elevation of 30 degrees above the horizon and its too damn cold to go outside!!

Nothing visible in the sky tonight, as usual.
We did have one clear night a few days ago and I forgot to look, so used to not being able to see anything.
I blame Elon Musk.

Tonight the POTD thread will pass 150,000 views 10 to go before this. Nice if the moon challenge new content pushes it past the landmark.

for inspiration...

Is that Betelgeuse in the lower part of the picture?

I have been on an enforced arctic perambulation (took the car back to my son's place) and there was the moon and even a few stars. No camera though.

This one will have to do... semi appropriate, today the gorse by the side of the road was well and truly in yellow bloom.

I stepped out to change the bird bath water this morning only to discover it was being used as a watering hole!! Sadly by the time I came back for the camera he was gone but this is a library picture very similar to the one I would have got!!:
