Howdy all;
Just came in from viewing 26 hour old crescent Moon about 7 degrees below
Mercury, a sight that does not happen often. I orginally saw the Moon in
10X50 binoculars and then picked it out naked eye. As the western sky got
darker the Moon was much easier to see and Mercury popped out as well.
A very nice conjunction;
Steve Coe
