Marcia,
This morning at 3:30, I saw Saturn, the Pleiades the Moon, Jupiter and Venus. It was a fantastic scenery. I had just been back from the place 100km away, to look at Mars (dissapointing under the sand storm) and all the familiar Messier objects. A friend from the club owns a Célestron G8 and we could see many details in M13. Amazing! However, our telescopes became misty from dampness and we had to stop. (We saw ISS dump water at 23:00). And this morning, Al Staley started a chat through MSN messenger (thinking nobody would be awaken at 4:45 his time, but 10:45 my time) and he realized I was from over the pond. It was quite interesting.
