Been horrible yesterday and today here in Melbourne. Cloudy at 6pm tonight, but finally cleared around 7pm. Just came back in. What a beautiful sight. All four planets clearly visible, with a slither of moon separating Mercury and Saturn. I was a little surprised that Mercury was so high, I estimate nearly 10 deg from horizon. Showers are still around so I'm not game to take out any equipment, plus I think this is one of the sights best seen with the naked eye. Hoping for another look tomorrow.
