    Once again many thanks Walnut! :gnthb:
    Fingers crossed for a clear sky - we've not really had one since mid December and the forecast isn't too promising.
    I've just had a look at 'Heavens Above' and it seems like there is a slight chance of seeing Mercury and Jupiter too in close conjunction just above the SW horizon.
    Time and vis will tell !

    Mercury and Jupiter well below the horizon for us tonight, but Venus started the show very early, clear as a bell before dusk.

    Hmmmm ... now will I ever be able to take a photo like that I ask myself ..... :scratch: :lollol::rotfl:

    Ab-so-lute-ly fan-tas-tic photo ...... :gnthb:

    Is that Mercury or Venus ... not very good on these things .... :dh:

    Don't think we'll see much tonight as there's too much cloud cover, storms were forecast but it's quiet and calm out there now and it's 15c .... :oops: sorry peeps ...

    When you get that new camera you'll be taking photos that are as good or better!!:gnthb:

    The planet's Venus. Tonight was our first clear night for about two weeks or more so I thought I'd give it a try.
