Well that explains it, George. The only times I ever looked straight up was with a 90¡ã diagonal or if I were flat on my back. Even then it meant I wasn't getting up without serious leverage or a helpful lift... ;)?

Thanks for the notification. You¡¯re right, it¡¯s easy to see. Venus is about one index finger tip held at arm¡¯s length from the moon, nearly straight up.

Look just above the moon right now and you can see Venus with the naked eye in daylight.

How to access the observing site attached. A soft ¡®car count¡¯ from this group would be helpful. I expect you¡¯d likely have equipment so follow the directions accordingly to park up top. Contact me directly text 949-289-3672 with specific questions.

How do you feel about me letting a few Lyme Land Trust astronomers know about the Penny Lane get together? No telling what the up-take would be. In any event, they will be present for that evening's observing session.
?
FYI Here are our next few observing dates

Hi All,
?
Let's plan on Penny Lane on Saturday the 22nd at 2 PM for those that can attend.
I understand that everyone has different circumstances and I certainly respect that.
Perhaps I can entice you to attend one of our in-person meetings at Deer Lake Outdoor Center in Killingworth, CT??
Our meeting hall is Humongous and is essentially a banquet hall for weddings with very high ceilings and lots and lots of elbow room.? Lee/Mark/Deb can attest.? ?
We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7 PM.??
?
Also, I know I missed the last TAAS meeting.? What's the general schedule/meeting date/time so I don't miss it next time?
?
Thanks all,
Jeff
