Sky Tonight

[Basha72]

Some of you will know this already, but looking in the sky tonight you will see three planets all lined up down the side of the moon at a slight angle, Top one is Jupiter, middle is Venus and the bottom is Mercury, where I am at the mo I can't see Mercury. Its a nice sight to see along with the constellations.

Hope some of you see it where you are

[Tony1948]

No hang on the cloud's just cleared a bit,they are at about 11oclock to the moon:happy-clapping:

[Basha72]

thats them lol, I'll be keeping a watch on them tonight as I am working nights over the weekend :-(

I find just looking at the stars sometimes just helps to clear your head of all the waffle you've had to put up with during the week lol And sometimes I even know what I'm looking at

Clear here. Got the telescope out for the first time, Venus, Jupiter and moon were great. Mercury obscured by trees. Did a bit of constellation spotting with a few star charts. Nice to be able to name half a dozen stars now, the brighter ones anyway.
