Just been out (17:00 PM on Sun 2th Dec) to spot the impending
occlusion of Saturn by Jupiter.

At about 11 o'clock from Jupiter and about "a couple of mm"
away is another, fainter, object.

Would this be Saturn?

Needed to take my chances now because overcast cloud is
forecast and, also, Jupiter will be setting shortly
in the SW sky.


20th Dec, the zero key is intermittent on this 6 year old laptop!
