Favorable Mercury viewing at SPSP (Friday 11/3/05)

Hi All,
Mercury will be at greatest elongation east
this weekend. Best viewing will be Friday night where the wanning cresent moon will provide a good pointer...
See map for just after sunset Friday.

Actual max elogation data is March 12 (18 degrees) at 23:43 hrs UT, diameter 7.3"

Be worth trying to find if we have (or can get to) a clear western horizon.

Cheers
