hehe true. Actually opposition isn't at midnight anyway.

Starry Night Pro has difficulty telling me the exact date/time and distance for opposition for some reason.

Yeh I'd read something like 8th March 1900 GMT somewhere else, and given 6am is daylight for us, then any time on the 8th or 9th March is good enough
