What just one day after Saturn is at opposition, two days after Mercury being at superior conjunction? With Jupiter rising around 2am and Mars already high in the sky by sunset? The day before ISS begins making morning passes over Galway? With Orion transitting the meridian around 9:30pm and with Saturn only 13 arcminutes from the edge of the beehive star cluster?

Nah you cant hold it that night it would just be wrong
