I had to do it through and in the gaps between clouds but I observed the Black Cat in the Moon again tonight, this time from the SW corner of 6 Ave and 42 St. It is a very noisy place to observe from and I had to talk loudly to the two people who stopped to take a look.. The entire cat was visible and much easier to see than it was on my last attempt.
Adding to the menagerie, I also sighted the Black Sheep in the Moon. S/he is over in Mare Humorum. The ears remind me very much of a lamb. He isn't as in your face there as the Black Cat in the Moon is and I had trouble locating him in my lunar atlas program.
