Hmmm .... yeah i wondered that because on my skyx software it showed mercury as havng set by 9.30pm too, i made notes because it was so late in the year i didnt think it was worth buying the sky guide for 09 still and thought id just wait and buy next years instead, so just made notes of things to look for and of course notes that i made in my diary 6 weeks ago just stump me now
. Thanks for replying, i will check out stellarium as well
If anyones got the Australian Skyguide 2009 would love you to look up and clarify what it said about it for me!
