Sunday 1st March, is it still worth nipping out with the scope for a look this evening? I went out on Thursday night but it was too cloudy. Havent had chance to get out there again since then. |

I went out this evening at dusk to put the chickens in and noticed the moon and what I assumed was Venus. The Moon was above Venus – is that correct for that time in the evening? Or was I looking at a different planet? |
