Just starting a thread for the discussion of the upcoming conjunction of Mars, Mercury and Jupiter on December 10th 2006, and providing good views for 2 days following.
It'll be in the Eastern sky just before sunrise, and will make a great view in a widefield telescope or binoculars.
A great opportunity for astrophotographers as well as a spectacular visual sight.
I haven't worked out where i'll be or what i'll do yet, but I'll definitely be looking to photograph it - somewhere with a nice easterly horizon with foreground interest for widefield photography
No houghy, not nobby's beach - damn wind and cloud!
