Default Celebrating USA's Independence

As of now I am trying to prepare both mentally and physically for an extened and much deserved break that will span several days leading to the 4th of July. America's birthday as most of you know is celebrated during the heat of summer and most relate it things like BBQ, fireworks, flags, patriotic music, cold drinks (lemonade/iced tea/beer )

I have my camera ready, BBQ pits on standby, and flags ready to raise... but there is an additional treat for everyone this weekend...

In the evening sky Saturn is going to zip past Venus over the next few evenings. For the average Joe, this will look like two bright stars close together, but since we are part of the TechARP enlightened few, we now know that those two dots of light in the sky are a rare "near miss" of planets.

Grab you grrrrrll, tele lenses or binocs and look to the west each night this weekend at about 9:00pm your time... See that BRIGHT star (not really a star ) that's Venus, right next to is is Saturn. For my viewpoint they will pass 2/3 degree apart, similarly for all others....

OK, a picture is worth 1000 words.

Setup for each night looking west at 9pm:


Barring rain/clouds I will set up my scope to take some shots... enjoy!

Eh, first of all, Happy Belated Indepedence Day, USA!

I have a pair of binocs, but it's still hard to make out where they are. Would they appear at a slightly different location at different latitudes?

I apologize for not sharing any pics. The machine with the July pics has died and been put to rest. It has taken almost 3 months to recover, but the show must go on...
