Lets hope we get clear skies.

Hoping for a clear sky on sunday evening (6th july) to see the moon near both planets. And it'll be nice to get a look at Saturn and Mars close together on the conjuction of the 10th - Mars is racing through the sky toward the ringed one and is pretty close already. They are both tonight easily within the field of my 10x50 bins 8)

cheers

Yeah, I just looked at the Met Office site, which is usually accurate for 24-48hrs where I am, and there's lots of rain coming our way :crybaby: for the weekend.

It appears that its only the clouds that are aligning for me over this weekend

This event is following the astronomical rarity/cloud variation law.

The rarer the event the greater the cloud......................
