Anyone for the heavenly rendevous? Unfortunately they'll be visible only in the dawn hours so the meet will have to take place probably from 530am till sun up.
Jupiter, Venus will be very close on the mornings of the 11th and 12th and Mercury will be nearby as well!
Anyone interested in an early morning before work? *groan*

Nice show this morning--Jupiter and mercury at the same level;Venus slightly below--mercury is not visible to the naked eye;but a 8x50 viewfinder or a 7x50 bino will make it visible.Mercury showing looks like a half moon--if magnified 200x.Take this golden opportunity to see mercury as mercury is always low in the sky.
