Pretty cool stuff, Mountain.

I remember as a kid spending summers on my uncles farm down in Maryland. No city lights, no other light pollution; I’d look up at the sky at night and see millions of stars. Made me feel really small... but it’s an awesome sight.

Thanks much.

We've been observing the gradual merge as clear skies permit.

Normally the location would be obscured by trees, but we decided to keep an eye out because those trees are deciduous.

Turns out that we have a view after all, between the branches.

It would seem the brightest will be when Saturn is just about to go behind Jupiter. Coincidence will have Jupiter blockng Saturrn I would think..

All those shiny stars look the same to me.
