tbird Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the heads up. There was enough of a break in the clouds to just get a glimpse of Mercury just above the horizon, hoping for better view tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Looked good although it was through cloud, couldn't spot Mercury at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Had a great view tonight at 6.15pm, stopped the car at top of a hill just outside Mansfield. All 3 planets and the moon made a lovely spectacle. Mercury was plainly visible low down in the brightness near the horizon. Now with the sky getting darker a nice view of earthshine on the thin crescent moons darkside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Saw the same alignment but without mercury due to buildings, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kevinpayne1 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 They did look spectacular as I arrived home from work. Managed to grab a quick photo on my phone - It's not going to win any prizes (but with a bit of imagination) it gives the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
