Planets - who's got 'em all!

Still trying to observe all eight solar system planets in the one night. You know the drill - busy night when I cannot get out - clear sky; free night - cloudy Grrrrr!

And Mercury is scurrying away from the evening sky towards the Sun Saturn is not too far behind.

Mind you, I can always tick one off the list - just look down at the ground

I'm going to have to try from Melbourne skies sometime in the next week and probably without Argo Navis for Uranus and Neptune. It's been a few years since I star-hopped to them - but that was in dark skies!

And that full Moon may not make the distant ice giants particularly easy.

How have you gone?
