Moon and Venus tonight

Any good pics yet Neil ?

Only of cloud

I did manage to see Mars and Uranus close together last night. Mars and Uranus should be easy to locate tomorrow, you will need bins to see Uranus as a pale star below Mars:

No cloud here earlier , it looked spectacular . Sadly , I don't know how to use me Canon 400 in the dark, and the lens is damaged anyway, so i used my daughters Canon Ixus 160 little thing zoomed right out . Result !

I dunno where the moon went though it WAS lower left , but just a sliver..

Venus

A sliver? Probably it set. Neil certainly knows his onions. Ha ha! Sliver and onions…

Going to bed now… <Rousing cheer>

Well caught. Venus is brighter than the moon, its hard to expose them both perfectly.

Neil, what's that bright star in the south , about halfway up the sky , s'cuse terminology , just curious….
