Jim, on the 13th (UT), Jupiter passes just 0.6 degrees south of Neptune. You will be able to see both in the field of a low-power eyepiece. I doubt you will be able to bag M33 with the moon in the sky. Nice report, thanks! On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 5:12 AM, jim Gibson <jimgibson0@gmail.com> wrote:
Got up at 4am this morning. Got my little 4 in Newt out on the back porch and in just a few minutes was able to check out Jupiter close to the moon, Then ran east to see Venus, Mars, Pleiades, and M31. Thought about searching for M33 but didn’t have time. I will try and catch it tomorrow.
