Some showers here in Melbourne.
Hung the washing under the veranda and then noticed it clearing again.
Moved the scope back out onto the lawn and had a look.
There it was!
Saturn (rather faint) right next to the Moon!
About 9:45 am at that stage.
Raced inside to get the kids, the laptop and the USB eyepiece.
But too late.
Saturn had disappeared behind the Moon and then the Moon disappeared behind clouds.
Fingers crossed for ~ 11 am.
