Nothing except cloud bottoms to be seen here for the next 10 days, at least.

sadly is a lot of thin high cloud here tho I can see the moon and jupiter occasionally un-fuzzed by the cloud cover. the others Saturn, mercury etc have already passed behind the trees and rooflines so no chance there. Not even worth going for a drive as the clouds pretty much obscure everything at the moment. C'est la vie...

Managed Venus and Jupiter so far this evening. If the clear patch lasts I might spot Mercury before it sets.

I got Venus and Mercury in a scope tonight, but no chance of naked eye due to the bright sky and bands of cloud.

Couldn't get Venus and Mercury, as they were too low down behind all the vegetation in the SW, but managed the others, bins for Uranus and Neptune.

[Ouroboros]

I managed Venus and Mercury briefly in a gap in the cloud. Jupiter, Saturn and Mars too. The two I’m yet to get this evening are Uranus and Neptune. Those both require bins and a bit of star hopping. If only it would clear for long enough for me to do that. I just went out on seeing clear sky through the window only for cloud to roll in after a few minutes, and now rain.  

[Ouroboros]

I finally managed to get the full set.  Neptune was the hardest. It’s very near the bright moon and the sky is somewhat milky.

Missed Venus and Mercury by about 30mins  But took a tour of the others just for the heck of it  Mars is looking great again tonight!
