Venus & M45 03-04-2020

Just been browsing with CDC realising I'd missed the Mars/M45 flyby this year - hit forward 1 year and found that Venus passes directly in front of M45 on April 3rd 2020.

Nice one. You could add this to the calendar so we get flagged at the time.

Nice catch. I was a little worried by the time on your screenprint, but sunset is 19:44, so give it an hour after than and this is still at an altitude of >30 degrees, not setting until after midnight. So I should think that should more or less guarantee clouds in at least that portion of the sky ...
