Starry Nights

I will be glad when the weather cools down a little bit and not be so humid at night. It will make it a lot easier for me to get out my 60 mm and do so viewing. It is so much fun seeing the stars and planets up close and personal. A couple months ago while Venus was still up after the sun set, I did get a wonderful view with Venus and Saturn in the same eyepiece. It was the first time I saw Saturn. I could see the rings pretty good and overall is my best view yet. I am still a beginner so I know that there will be a lot more to come. I heard a couple of days ago that by early December, Mars will be at its closest to Earth. It should make it a really good target to see. I haven't fond it in the night sky but I know I will be out there looking for when the time comes. Well good luck and clear skies.
