6 Planets
« on: August 18, 2016, 01:19:39 am »
Saw 6 planets last night just after sunset. Venus near the western horizon, Jupiter a bit above it then Mercury slightly below and left of Jupiter.  Mars very red, almost overhead and Saturn not far away.

Number 1 eyeball  %%
Saw them again tonight.   I did not realize how high Mercury could be in the sky, I have only seen it once and it was very near the horizon.
I checked locations on 'Heavens Above' web site for satellite sightings.
