Re: Planets Visible in the Night Sky

Don't need a telescope to see some of these planets either. Venus, Mars and Jupiter are very visible with the naked eye. Venus is the brightest light you'll see bar the Sun/Moon, and Mars looks like a pink star. With even a low level telescope or binoculars you can see the moon's orbiting Jupiter. Look up, there's lots there !

Re: Planets Visible in the Night Sky

I took my first proper manual photo the other week of the super snow moon, next full moon it will be warmer and I can adjust the setting to darken the image.

Re: Planets Visible in the Night Sky

There are many apps for android and iPhone that show you what stars and planets are in the sky around you using the GPS.

A great and simple way to identify what you are looking at

Re: Planets Visible in the Night Sky

Take a pic of the moon when it's not full. You'll be able to see the individual craters and the shadows they cast on the terminator.
