Cool Mercury / Neptune conjuction coming up
Cool conjunction coming up between the innermost and outermost planets in our solar system (sorry Pluto!).
On Feb 19th they'll be within the same (wide) field of view.
Mercury will be close to greatest elongation and greatest illumination.
I wonder how difficult it will be to make out 8th magnitude Neptune in the sunset?
Worth a try anyway.
