Howdy all;

SAC is having a Novice Group star party at Cherry Road for this Saturday and
I fired up my planetarium program and there will be a great planetary
conjunction after sunset.  Saturn will be 9 degrees from the Sun and may not
be visible.  But, Venus and Mercury will be 21 degrees from the Sun and very
close together.  Mars will be above the two of them.  Ought to be a great
sight.

Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
