Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.
Headsup! Make sure to look out for this spectacular conjunction next week.
Venus and Jupiter are closing in together and will be closest 1st and 2nd September.
The best way to remember a conjunction is to take a picture. People with cameras, find a good foreground and take some spectacular shots. Make sure to share them with us here!
Also look out on the 7th of September, where the crescent moon and Spica will join the foray. Another good photo op.
Clear Skies!

Welcome aboard, Siah Heng. Would have liked to invite you over to my place except that I will be busy these 2 nites. I'll see if I can squeeze time in to visit you instead.
Kay Heem, the western sky near my place is blocked by bulidings and bright lights from Clementi, south side blocked by condo. The only clear skies are in north east to north west.

Hmm... apparently that's not so from my place... sky looks good. Took a few shots, but the street lights around my place sort of ruin the pictures. Will look through later...
