I'm certainly going to check out the conjunction tomorrow evening and next day, weather permitting.

Well, it's cloudy--- pouring rain/show, I certainly won't be seeing any conjunctions tonight.

Saw it through a haze of sorts, then partially later in the clear. Will be looking tomorrow and for many more nights.

A nice view in the Great Lakes area earlier tonight. Now I know what I saw!!

A mediocre attempt at a photo...not my favorite, but one of the only ones that sort of shows that the moon was a crescent. I didn't get the camera set up fast enough to catch mercury before it was out of sight. Might try again tomorrow night...

Yes! I saw it earlier just as I was riding home from Church! so THAT is what i saw : )

 

[AKM]

Tonight was colder and windier. Just barely caught Mercury before it dropped out of sight and didn't have enough time to mess with camera settings much.

Clear view of the planets this early PM were a bit higher in the sky.

It actually appears the planets look more closely aligned, or is that just my imagination?
