Wow! Did anyone else get up at 4:30 this morning to check out Venus and Jupiter? They are about 1/2° apart. What a beautiful sight! It reminded my why its nice to have a small refractor on an alt az mount for wide fields and quick peeks. I was set up in about 5 minutes and my FS78 was cooled down in about 20 minutes. With a 7mm T6 you could just get both planets in the same field. It was great to see Jupiter and the gibbous Venus again.
Saturn was high overhead and spectacular as usual. Having Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus overhead provided a great light show.
This would have made a great binocular view as well.
