Tonight, Castor, Pollux line up with Venus. Jupiter is within 20 degrees, giving nice opportunity for calibration of digital camera. Might be a nice exercise to photograph Venus, Jupiter over the next few weeks and see from photos if the separation is as Ephemerides predict. Combine this with Frank's exercise with Sextant and I can't think of anything more fun.
