TheMorning Planets at this time was created by Seanie_Morris
Hi al,
Its quite amazing really... at the time I am typing this, Venus and Jupiter are still visible in the sky! Jupiter is about 1.25 degrees from the Moon's rights, and Venus is much lower down. I am surprised at how visible Venus is in the morning dawn light. The sun is just perched on the edge of the horizon!
When I got Jupiter in the bino's at about 7:50am, I swear that I could see 1 of the satellites to its left, very close. Must confirm if I saw this.
Really clean crisp morning - beautiful!

Isn't it always the way - there's something worth seeing going on in the sky... and in roll the clouds! :roll:
At least you'll probably have a white Christmas. Over here, ours will just be wet and soggy!

Grabbed a quick snap of Jupiter and the Moon this morning before I left for work...
Although they don't show up in the pic I could make out Callisto, Ganymede and Io in the scope.
At least these dark winter mornings are good for something.....

Ronan, Just click on the Img icon (beside List= and URL above) no spaces, click the link, no spaces click Img again. That will do it.
Keep the images small enough otherwise they'll look huge on the screen..
