Mars and Jupiter in the morning
Mars (5-10deg alt) and Jupiter (+30deg alt) are up in the eastern sky at 7:00AM. Cold, but worth a quick look with some binos before shoveling the snow. - Canopus56(Kurt) __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Â Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less. dsl.yahoo.com

Opps, that should be Mercury at 7:00AM, not Mars. Mercury reaches quadrature on 12/8 and is at about it's highest elevation this orbit: At 14:00:00 UTC (7:00 AM MDT); Az is approx. 122-125 degs.
