You can see the moon by flying above the clouds as the Bobov Rebbe once did to catch Kiddush leVonoh.
The only problem about flying above the clouds tonite [apart from the massive expense this would entail] is that it is more than 1/2 way between last Molad & the next Molad, hence resulting in a Berocho leVatolo:- A.K.A. as a transgression of the 3rd of the 10 commandments, in addition to not having fulfilled the Mitzwah of Kiddsuh Levono. B’H I already fulfilled this Mitzwah 10 nights ago, on Leil Yom ha’Atzmaut Mukdom.
Please bear in mind, that this year with all Molados being approximately 1&1/2 days early {or Hebrew months commencing approximately 1&1/2 days late after the Molad} so that latest time for recital of Kiddush Levono is way before the 15th of the month.
This coming winter, when marCheshvon Kisslev Teves shall each be 29 days, the Molados & Months shall be much more closely aligned, and being able to bless Kiddsuh Levonoh on the 15th of the month should then cease to be a problem.
