Alignment Of The Planets - August

[PossumCorner]

Last time until 2019 to be able to see such an interesting planet alignment in the west. Nothing I could photograph, but the moon-shot people might have a look, view attempting an image. If it's not too cold outside. We had a few minutes clear sky tonight and Mars was easy to pick out. Friday the 5th is to be the best viewing, just after sunset so will spend a bit more time on it. If it's not clouding or freezing or both. This site gives a clear idea of what to look for and where.
