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.


If you have a (andriod) smart phone install the "sky map" app. Once you
calibrate the compass on the smart phone and point your phone at the sky
(screen facing you) it will show the stars you are looking at with named
planets etc. in the current positions in the sky.
