Interesting that we'd see skies of a salmon color on the same day. By the
way, after the clouds
got out of the way, the skied opened up to give a very transparent and
clear
night sky than I've
seen for quite some time. I saw stars down to mag. 5 with the naked eye,
and that's it in the city
of Manila, which is a major metropolitan area! Finally, the Intertropical
Convergence Zone seems
to have moved south of us, and we're seeing different types of clouds
again,
after weeks of
cloud layers and rainfall. Here's to more "unsettled" clouds and more
atmospheric light shows!
