Mercury / Mars Conjunction

[Gregger]

Just enough gap in the clouds to make a pleasant observation (and sketch) of these two just now with the Celeston 15x70 binos.

Well chuffed as looked in doubt all day

Well Done, good observation! After playing with Skymap, I plan to start looking for Mercury from the 11th, clouds permitting

You need to reduce the size of the image, David. It's too awkward to scroll as it is.

My apologies. Lack of knowledge on my part.

Nice snapshot Dave! Looks even better at about 25% size though. Good 'ol MS Paint (free with Windows) can resize it fo your,
