I could see them clearly at the weekend. Astronomy not my strong point so couldn;t say which planets they were.

No point getting my cameras out as SW London isn't exactly Dark Sky ....

F50 1.7. SMC-FAs 24, 35, 50 1.4, 85, 135. HD-FA15-30, DFA24-70, D-FA*70-200. The SMC-FA Limited Trinity.

Thanks chaps. The lower planet of the two brightest in the sky was Venus.

On 01 March Venus and Jupiter will be at their closest approach.

Unlikely to be visible here, alas.
