Heads up - All planets visible in one night

[Stu]

Jupiter sorted. Nice view in the binos. Just managed to catch Europa heading in towards the limb.

Just Saturn left now...

Nice one, Stu. Remember to set the alarm

For how much longer is this possible? If I'm going to do it I will need to drive somewhere to see Mercury and Venus. The others are all visible from my normal spot.

Will do!

I reckon another 4 or 5 days Derek. Mercury will get dimmer and lower quite rapidly after that. Get yourself a low SW horizon and give it a go :-)

Looks like I'll miss it. I'm away from home for a couple of days and my forecast looks like this so I won't get a chance to see the sky until Saturday

Well I woke up at 5.30 ish and stuck my head out of the window.......cloudy of course. Close, but no banana!
