There is a line up of planets worth taking a look for. I knew it would be very unlikely to see them from our spot on Earth. The mountains get in the way and it would be light. Still you won’t see them if you don’t try. I was hoping to get Venus, Mercury and Saturn in one shot. Unfortunately I was only able to see Saturn in the twilight with Venus and Mercury already below the mountains. I might give it another try tomorrow. I did get a good look at the waxing moon, Orion and Jupiter. Very bright twinkling Sirius, reminded me of Willow absent on this walk above the river with the geese honking below.

I got a good view a couple of nights ago. No scope or binocs, just the broad clear sky. Melanie stepped out to see, too.

I was able to spot Venus last night. Not easy as it was going down and it was still light. I couldn’t see Mercury even though it would have been beside Venus.

I think I looked at the wrong time on Saturday night as I thought I’d have to wait until it got dark or I wouldn’t be able to see anything. By the time I looked at 1900 hours, it had started to cloud over quite a bit and I couldn’t even see Venus so knew I was wasting my time. Tonight it’s raining so I’ve probably had it this time around. Shame as I’d have loved to have seen it.

I don’t think it was all that it was cracked up to be at northern latitudes like yours. It was almost impossible to see Venus, Mercury and Saturn due to them being low on the eastern horizon at dusk.

That’s cheered me up a bit – I’d have loved to have seen one!
