Venus and moon

[houston]

Wow. Venus and the moon really close this morning. Missed this in monthly guide. Good photo opportunity but off to work. Gr!!

Just seen it through the kitchen window. Gorgeous!

Just went outside and saw it, wonderful sight. Shame they too low down in sky for me to point the scope at them from my garden. doh!

Woke up at 5:30am and went outside for my first smoke of the day and wow! what a gorgeous view - the moon and venus in close pass with mars and saturn a little over to the southwest. Very beautiful view indeed - and yes a terrific photo opportunity.

It was a beautiful sight through the bins this morning, a great start to the day.

[Luke]

It was a truly striking sight.  Is it just me or has the Moon disappeared now that the Sun is out?

[DaveS]

Agreed, a great start to the day, saw it out of my kitchen window as I was making a pot of tea.

Had a clear night so was out till 1am. Bleary eyed this morning but putting out the rubbish I spotted this beautiful sight. Drove off to work and rang the house to tell my wife and kids to go out for a look. Lovely. As someone said good start to the day

I saw it as I walked to the car this morning. I was tempted to go back inside an get the camera, but I did not have the time (the only reason I get up so early is to get through the M42 before it grinds to a halt at 7:20 )

Sorry, when I saw this in an astro forum I wondered why the Orion Nebula would grind to a halt

Have you seen how clogged those dust lanes get in the mornings?..

I saw it after seeing it listed in the S@N mag. Only I had to wait a while for the clouds to clear. The sky was quite bright when it did appear so it didn't have as much impact as if I'd seen it earlier, when darker.

Wow. Venus and the moon really close this morning.

I saw that this morning, it really was a beautiful sight.

The guy who was fifty or so yards in front of me obviously thought the same, he stopped and got his phone out to take a sneaky pic.

I thought about doing the same but, he would probably have thought it a bit weird, some guy stopping next to him and copying what he was doing at 5.45 in the middle of a dark industrial estate with no one else around!

My effort this morning; a quick grab, point and shoot.
