Visually it was tough to see the other two.
Venus stole the show.
Didn't think it'd make a good enough shot to record it the
dif in Mag was so great.
Nice all the same.

Caught Jupiter and the ISS passing by at 5AM this morning.
mag 3.6 or so I'd say.
Very cool.

Managed Venus around 4-5 degrees off the horizon visually on Saturday night. Clear as hell in the twillight, it was so steady, but I didn't get to see Mars or Saturn.
