No sign of Saturn in the horizon hugging murk.

Glad I am not the only one who can't pick up Saturn. Conditions were pretty
good here yesterday and using 10x50s I managed to track Venus and Mercury
setting over the Solway right the way down until they disappeared behind
the distant mountains. (I will have to get one of these fancy DSLRs and
show you what a real sunset looks like ;-) Not a sign of Saturn though.

At least you guys got *something*. :-)

We've been in drought for months, and the rains came over the past
week. Yesterday was bucketing down at sunset.

I shouldn't complain. we really *do* need the rain.
