Tonight you can see the half moon with Mars on the right and a star called Spica to the left. At about 11pm pacific they were evenly spaced.

You saw that too. Nice, sharp and clear here in CO. I wanted to shoot that but I just didn’t have the time. It was pretty though.

Email I got yesterday, 7/5/2014:

Hello All,
At last - clear skies! Tonight we'll attempt to view all of the planets (Pluto included). We'll begin with Jupiter (VERY low in the NW sky), then move on to Mars and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and finally Venus and Mercury in the morning sky. Add the sun (we'll catch it before it sets), moon, minor planets Vesta and Ceres, Comet C/2012 KI PanSTARRS, and any meteor that zips across the sky during the evening, and we'll have completed a tour of the solar system - all in a single night! Meet us at the clubhouse at 7pm so we can get an early start.

I have to go to work Monday and would never have recovered :( Must have been fun.
