Name | Steve E |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | Naturally, at the day and time I am stating, we were on a hilltop observing the planetary Conjunction! I may be inaccurate on the EXACT time, I did not note it however I was taking photos and am within a 15 minute window near 5:30pm Pacific Time. It was VERY bright and seen immediately as it appeared over my right shoulder slightly north and moving to the west as I was looking at the planet alignment. |
