@CrewkerneAstro - from France - and clear skies - was able to observe Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury in the same binocular field of view!

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

Evening all. How's the observing. Lots going on at the moment I am going to be back out with my scope soon after a busy few months.

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

NASA planning to Lasso an asteroid and park it next to the moon. That will be interesting!

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@kimmyc37 It's clear this morning lets hope it stays this way although the temp is about minus a million!

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

Still no clear skies so no sight of Comet PanSTARRS yet! Damn this weather!

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@NickAstronomer @faulkestel I agree I never expect wonders as a big eyepiece astronomer I love faint fuzzys.

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@NickAstronomer And closing fast!! I can't wait.

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@NickAstronomer By the way how is ISON looking I have big expectations?

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@sh52mjh Oh you'd know if you'd seen ISS or not its very bright and fast moving. I will tweet you when it's next visible.

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@NickAstronomer Got ya, I have seen a few processed pics but I knew it would be different to the eye. Is it a disappointing one for you?

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@NickAstronomer I thought it would be are we talking Mag 3.0?

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]

@sh52mjh Look to the West just AFTER Sunset don't look at the Sun without protection!

[Crewkerne Astronomy @CrewkerneAstro]
