If you have an iPhone there’s an app that tells you all the names of the stars, planets and constellations just by pointing your phone at the sky. I’m now a bit of a Patrick Moore, any monocules in that junk shop?

The trouble is I was looking at a couple of them but they didn't show the moon so I didn't know where my star was, it was up and to the right of the moon. And I still think it was Jupiter so they have it wrong. anyway I will look out for a monocle for you and a deerstalker?

Looking at some pictures today from a local photography group on FB there were shots of the Moon with Venus to its right.

Thanks, I knew it must have been, very bright, my eyesight and shaky hands don't help, once I get a tripod it should improve, cant see a thing this morning, sheets of rain and mist.

Off subject I know, but the Moon and Venus absolutely bright as a button in the early morning sky as I left for fishing yesterday (clear frosty night) and I understand to the south of the Moon, Mercury is also visible - but maybe only with binoculars?? Not sure on that..

Could also become brighter as this week progresses?

Not an expert on this sort of thing but I like to know what I'm looking at!

Apologies to the OP..

Not your fault-mine-apologies ditto.. I don't usually see much before 11am after five cups of coffee and five cigarettes; the haze starts to clear a bit. But I couldn't help noticing this out of the window yesterday. I am just hoping I don't get too into it, ever increasing time wasted, more and more expensive gear, wandering around the countryside all hours hoping for some clear skies without really knowing what I am doing or why, I should have learned something from fishing by now.

Just snagged a pair of unused Abu Max Specimen 11ft 2.25lb rods from eBay. Was waiting for some info on here about the rods but, as is my wont, I decided to swoop before someone else got them.

I hope they exceed or match your expectations!

Always had a soft spot for Abu stuff off the back of their beach multipliers. Finest in the world IMO.

I think it's cheaper than that online from a shop. I saw it when looking the other day.

Apparently the line isn't a good trotting line I saw no sense in me buying it.

Similar apologies to the OP

This particular op accepts that threads occasionally go off on tangents and doesn't care, provided the tangents don't kill the thread.

 

[mikench]

A sentiment I share Sam! A thread becomes more complete with the odd digression!
