Saturn and the Moon will crash into each other tomorrow night.

Should be unmissable Peter, now all we need is clear skies, fingers, knees, legs and eyes crossed.

...you forgot toes Paul...

From Limerick , closest approach will be approx 2 arc minutes at 2.42 in the morning local time.
If I can stay awake, its one worth looking at.

I am beginning to get a bit tired myself and it has clouded over. fingers crossed and strong coffee

Been watching the skies all night and talking Dee through best times for sketching. Sounds like she may have something nice to show.
Comin' up close now to best time for the display (around 2am). Unfortunately I'm sub weather and won't get any shots tonight. Good luck all in your attempts to capture the second close encounter of Saturn and the moon this year.
