Last night driving back from the river cruiser it was really clear. The Moon and Venus, encouraged by Mars, were almost beckoning to me, but by the time I got home I was too whacked to do anything about it. It’s clear outside at the moment, so fingers crossed for twilight. I could get Moon – Venus with the Hughes Mate’s, the Moon with the Kollsman from the astrovan, and Venus with the Smith’s, if there’s room for my head and I can rig up a battery. If not, it’s the Kollsman. I’ll have to rely on ‘Navigator’ for the calcs, but one day ………. . Last time I managed to prove UTC was in error by eight minutes, so looking forward for an improvement tonight. DaveP
