Dear Group,

What a great spectacle earlier today involving two of the three
brightest objects in the daytime sky. For a glimpse of today's lunar
occultation of Venus, I kindly direct you to the following links:

I hope you find the results of interest.

Clear skies!

Here (SW England) it was a quadrille, a dance of the 4 brightest
objects !
- - Earth's clouds and high haze
- - the sun illuminating that haze to a milky white sky instead of
blue :(
and of course the moon and venus which I could get in my binoculars
but not naked eye :(
Only got the exit though.

Thanks to John for the previous post which alerted me to the event
Thanks to Anthony and Pete for the superb pics ( as always)
