Moon - Saturn conjunction

[bomberbaz]

Actually with Mars very close by. If you can catch a 5.5 degree of night sky on the 31st August you will get all 3 in.

For the moon and Saturn 1 degree should do it and as its only a 1/3 moon it might not be that bad.

Only issue is your going to have a very short period of time to get this, from 9 til 9.30 depending on conditions facing Southwest and you will need a low horizon outlook.

So not sure if this has been reported but here goes anyway.
