Howdy all;
Well, the conjunction of Venus, Mercury and Saturn was observed from my
backyard tonight, but it wasn't much. I got 5 to 10 seconds of naked eye
viewing and another minute or so when I could pick the three planets out all
in the 6 degree FOV of my 8 X 42 binoculars. That was the best I could do
with a pretty active storm passing just north of my position at 7th Street
and Thunderbird Rd. Lots of clouds and lightening flashes make astronomy a
difficult hobby tonight;-)
So, when do they pass the closest to each other? Is it Monday evening? I
may try and get out to get some photos, if the storms will allow.
Take Care;
Steve Coe
