I went out after reading your report and saw them dimly through the clouds,
then nothing. A short while later they popped out in a clear patch - worth the
wait. Jupiter at 1 o’clock to Venus, which was of course, much brighter.

I was able to see jupiter and venus at 8:20 pm tonight in the western sky. I
think that the cloud cover made them look very dim. If it had been clear, the
brightness of the 2 planets would have made the conjuction more spectacular.
Anyone else have good views? Sam
