Venus
A beautiful clear night last night with six planets on show: Saturn, Venus; Neptune (telescope only); Uranus (telescope only); Jupiter; and Mars. Sadly I didnt manage to observe Neptune but I did get to see the other five! This was Venus at 17:55. Its incredible brightness and brilliance in the evening sky to the naked eye hides the fact that it is just a thin crescent at the moment, as observed from Earth.By Dean Ashton
