--Boundary_(ID_Qu1pKPvW60xSrdWCsKc+aw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Having a very clear western sky Wednesday evening in Avonport (the first one that has been that clear in a while), I had no difficulty spotting Mercury in the 10X50 binoculars with Venus. Venus was easily seen with the unaided eye as well, but not Mercury (for me, a binocular object only). Mercury's location was about 2.5 degrees, in the 8 o'clock direction from Venus. At the beginning of the observation at 20:25, Venus was almost 5 degrees above the horizon. Last view of Mercury was at 20:44, by then within a couple of minutes of setting, Its light flashing intermittently as a weak reddened ember. Venus was still about 1.5 degrees above the horizon. When I ended my observation at 20:50 Venus was a glowing red ember, less than a half degree from the horizon, still visible naked-eye. Jupiter was shining very brightly above the south. I also, very much liked my view of Earth, its evening sky was beautifully clear !
