Planning for Venus/M45 conjunction on the 3rd of April.

Just wondering what thoughts and plans other IIS members might have for this event,I have some thoughts-but they are such that it will have to be one or the other.

Stay at home and go for the observatory option,with scope-may be take off 103 mm and put 81 mm on the mount for a scope shot.Or option two-go to remote location,where the Grass tree is,and line up Venus on the top point of the middle grass tree spear.The scope view may look a tad uninteresting,I have no 5X naglar tube.

All of the above will go out the door if its raining again in S.E QLD,I really hope not,this is a seldom seem event.What are others hoping to achieve?
