Venus at 4 pm and a great night visual
Hi all
Anyone notice Venus in the day light sky yesterday?around 4 pm I could clearly see near moon.(11-09-10)
It was a great start to a good evening of visual,I stayed up till 11.30 looking at many objects,M27,M22,M17,M16,NGC 6752,104,Jupiter and Uranus,plus others.
Jupiter looked so fine,watching little moon shadow,and the it popped out from disc,I could see the moon well before it was away from disc of planet.
The colour and details I observed on Jupiter,was stunning I could really make out some detail on bands and the bands near its poles.
Jupiter must be at its closets point to earth at present.
All these details on Jupiter I observed with my small 4 inch refractor.
Hope others had a good night last night,there was a bit of water vapour in air,but happy to have no clouds!
Chris
