Very neat website. I looked it over and Bookmarked it. And in in looking I found this gem.

The 'Skymap' for tonight just after sunset...

If I didn't live in a%$#^& Light polluted subdivision now (dam committee)(1), I'd get out the telescope. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn are all in view. How cool is that.

(1) The idiots decided we 'needed' new street lights that looked 'charming & old fashioned'. Now it's BRIGHTER than Michigan Avenue (The Mag Mile in Chi) on Christmas Eve!

There is nothing wrong with street lights they just need an off switch.

Thanks! I’ll go out and find a spot on the road where the trees thin out and take a look. Sorry about the light pollution. Have you thought of a BB gun?

Stepped outside to take a look at it, and I have clouds.... Lots and lots of clouds. Those three planets are always easily viewable with the naked eye. Never seen them that close together before. It WOULD have been neat to watch.... /cry
