Venus & Saturn

Folks: Venus & Saturn are observable very close together in the skies at the moment (if only the clouds would bügger off :mad: ). See here for more info on what you can see with a decent enough telescope.

Was trying to catch this in the scope all weekend myself. Damn clouds wouldn't let me! (I bought a scope 2 weeks ago and have only gotten out once during a break in the clouds.. and that was spent aligning the finderscope :mad:)

Won't be able to take a look this evening unfortunately but if anybody else is out this eve or saw anything over the weekend, let us know.

Too much cloud around this week. Not a great one for astronomy, though I have been able to see a few things this week, between the clouds and showers!
