Rosemary, over Cornbury is a clear view, tho' sadly unlikely to be visible this evening when they're closest - but apparently still good for a couple of days more.

Where is the best public location in Charlbury to see it, please, anyone?

Mars not what we want in these Troubled Times, Saturn for stability;)

Still about 6in apart (or is that 6 billion light years?) but getting closer by the day!

Skies cleared sufficiently at 5.42 to see the conjunction which was still visible at 5.56 when cloud returned. Would probably have been visible for 5 or 10 more minutes had it not been for the cloud.

Yes, I've got that as well!

Binoculars at the ready.

I have now got sore, gummy eyes from trying to find Jupiter and Saturn.

My GP tells me it's conjunctionitis.

The wrong conjunction for our troubled times;

Thanks Liz.

Just been out with my binoculars and can't see a thing!

Cloud cover?

...now visible over Cornbury, in and out of the clouds.

(Something to take our minds off other things!)
