We could have done with lots of bonfires tonight as it's very cold! There's already a strong frost outside. My heating began to struggle from early evening. Well at least there is a nice Moon just gone east and Jupiter very bright higher up a bit to the right of the Moon. I've also just seen 2 very bright Chinese Lanterns visually at least passing very close by the Moon.
