Green Moonlight

Last night I didn't go up to the corner, instead I set up across of diamond
jim's casino for 3 hours, and everyone coming out of the driveway could read
my protest sign on it's dayglow poster board and many of them did slow down
to read it. Even the guards cam over to read it. So I figure the owner will
hear about it. Anyway I was set up on the moon and whenit was about 20
degress up I noticed something, now there was a layer of high thin clouds.
At first I had to dig my glasses out and put'm on and yes I still saw it,
and then I looked in the scope and yes it showed there too. There was a
slight greenest cast to the moon and light coming from it. All I can figure
is it had to be the clouds, but I'd never seen that effect. It lasted until
the moon reached the 43 degree mark where it lost that odd greenest color to
it's light.
