I was home from work at 6am this morn and jumped at the prospect of seeing some planets. It was unreal

First up i seen jupiter better than i ever would have thought even using my 2x barlow with the 4mm eyepiece. Even the moons were visible with a touch of light on the horizon....spectacular

Then when venus came up the sun was starting to tint the sky too much but it was also a lovely sight.
As for saturn i found i was doing it all wrong.

It said it was at about 30 deg on the astro viewer.... But it was actually straight above my head almost...


but now i know where it is. This is going to be a great hobby which i see will turn into an obsession.
