[quote=circumpolar;303621]Today, March 6th, is a good time to try and view Venus during the day.

.....and it was a great sight this morning; what with the thin crescent moon, Venus and Mercury all together shining brightly; and way up higher, and motoring towards the zenith, Jupiter. I was tinkering around with a little Nexstar 80 GTL I bought cheap that I'm hoping to take over to Vic for my 10 year old grandson, checking everything - I was surprised how well it showed disc details at 90x in the brightening sky!
