Nice alignment tonight of crescent Moon and Venus with Mars nearby ….

[Ouroboros]

There’s a nice alignment of Venus, Moon and Mars tonight.  Should be a good sight by eye, bins or telescope.

Thanks, saw that too but it’s pretty cloudy here ☹️. Hope to catch a clear spell in a while

Yes. Now I look at the satellite picture it looks like it’s going to be cloudy here too.

high hazy cloud here...   should be clearing soon hopefully. Can just see the moon, but no Venus yet

a quick snap (with my Fuji XT20) before the sun has gone down - Venus just about visible if you look hard!

Just been out with my Canon IS 10x30s. Moon and Venus in the same field of view. Scope out soon as only high cloud - he said !! 🤔🤔

Very clear Blue evening sky here  approx. 1 mile as the crow flies from the eastern end of the runway at LGW,, some very high veiled cloud to the NW and a lot of what appear to be con trails. Both  Venus and the  Moon looking nice together as they were last night in role reversal as the moon rises highe rin the night sky  a little longer to wait for Mars.

Great views here, despite the hazy cloud. Same fov with the 8x42s. Lovely views of both Moon and Venus in the scope.

A serene sight of the pair tonight. Moon is so crisp in binoculars.

OK, my final offer is the Moon, Venus, and a fast moving bat, almost perfectly aligned!

Yep, beautiful view. Reminds me of why I got into this hobby in the first place.....

Nice view of the Petavius rille through the scope as well...

My feeble attempt 😄

Just popped outside… bit hazy, but was able to snap this with my Lumix G9 and 100-400 zoom at 100mm.

Moon, Venus with Castor and Pollux (just visible) 😀

Autocorrect error for Castor!

My two best attempts from tonight.

[RT65CB-SWL]

I went out, but forgot to pack a star diagonal for the ‘scope. You would think that someone that has four 1.25” ones, I would remember to bring at least one of them! 

I did let out/say an expletive  that sounds similar to Pollux... also visible along the top edge.

Lots of nice pics there. I had a look around 10:15 and then 11:00.  Both time very misty but I did take a look at them through bins. Not worth a photo, but a nice view anyway.
