Lunar and Mars conjunction

[Stu]

5.30am tomorrow (Sunday) morning, Mars will be about 2.5 degrees from the Moon. Should be worth a look from earlier on too, and they get closer after the sun has risen.

So over cast right now you can barely see the Moon. Yesterday they were getting close.

I observed the pair quite close together at 2:30 am this morning. Seeing was not up to much but Mars showed some detail even at 100x with the 90mm refractor.

Nice pairing but could have done with steadier seeing.
