All right, folks, there's no way out of this. The sky at night this fall sucks.No planets to be seen now: they all rise waaaay late or in the early hours of the morning. Ok, if you're in the center of the US and hang around until about 3:00 a.m. you'll get to see Venus. But Jupiter, Saturn... they don't show in our skies until around 7:00 a.m., CDT. And as for Mars??? After the WONDERFUL show it gave us last year at this time... It too is peeking out in the wee hours. Boo. *Sighs* Oh well, back to Venus: it's in the dawn sky, and pretty bright. So if you get up before sunrise you can see her. -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!

You're telling me, Graysith. The only thing I have round here to look at night is the moon...and some stars. Very few that i can see clearly.Unless I'm up in the mountains camping, that is. I aboslutely love the view up there. You can just stand still and watch the sky till you freeze. (I'm speaking from personal experience here...) But camping season's over. Bummer. Back to my boring old night sky. Even more boring, since I can't stay up to watch for Venus... ... I miss Mars, too.
