Hi Fairyfarmgirl,
The full moon is shining down on me through the open window next to my computer. What a beautiful sight! I see Jupiter is still very bright as well, can't make out Uranus tonight though. I broke out my telescope the night before last and observed the moon, Jupiter, and four of its satellites. It is so bright in opposition that you could probably see the moons with binoculars. I was able to see the colored bands of clouds, it was a very peaceful yet powerfully intriguing sight! I'm glad you are able to enjoy our celestial companions as well
