Popped outside to put some things in the garage and put the car to bed.
A pretty sight! The Moon and Venus 5 or so degrees apart.
Just before I headed back into the house, I took a moment. Mercury is too low now (confirmed with various software). But I could see an orangish star in Gemini (κ or kappa?), the Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Regulus. They almost formed a perfectly straight line. I thought of Kubrick's 2001. Looked straight up: Arcturus.
It seemed very clear tonight. I hope we'll get a clear night this week for the RASC City Observing Session...
