Yes indeed. Just watched them setting behind the fence.

The Star of Bethlehem.

Managed some nice views tonight. I have to go down to nearby fields to see the SW horizon so only had bins with me. If it’s clear tomorrow I will take my ED 72 for a closer view.

"Setting behind the fence".

Sounds like the two planets spend the night in your neighbours garden lol

No, they set behind my shed actually, I've watched them do it. 

Then I think they lurk in the row of garages of the houses on the road behind mine. ...

Don't know what you were looking at but I saw them disappear behind my neighbours roof top. 🤔

Can't blame them snuggling down in warm garages this cold time of the year.

There wasn't a lot of time after sunset to catch them before they started disappearing into the low haze. 80x got them both nicely in the field of view for about 5 minutes. Hope to try again tonight but it's tipping down here at the moment😔
