Some 10x50 binocular viewing of Venus and Jupiter, closing fast now in the morning sky today. This morning near 0610 EDT I was able to view Venus and Jupiter in 10x50 binocular views. Temperature 8C, lovely early spring morning sky. Sunrise 0614 EDT. Venus and Jupiter are closing fast now in the morning sky. Perhaps starting Friday morning, I will be able to see both planets in my 90-mm refractor telescope at 25x - 35x views. Weather looks good at my location for this Venus and Jupiter sky pairing taking place. Venus and Jupiter separated by a bit more than 3-degrees today.
