Zubenelgenubi and the King.

[Mick (Michael)]

Hi all,

I got up early on Saturday morning to see Jupiter and a bright star
very close together, they were both shining bright in the new morning
sky. I was eager to see this pairing as the star has a most wonderful
name, Zubenelgenubi pronounced zoo-BEN-el-je-NEW-bee. If you get a
chance have a look they will be together for a week or so and then slow drift apart. No telescope required.

Thanks for that Mick. It's strange, I was out there imaging Jupiter only this morning & I never even noticed this star! Must have been totally engrossed getting Joop! How unobservant of me!
