I am particularly pleased to see the one of Mercury as I managed to see it for the first time last night (20040325) but a little later than you, at about 1902UTC. I tried about 1840 but couldn't find it, despite the sky being fairly clear of clouds. At 1900, went out again with trusty 10x50 binoculars and those damn clouds were nearly eveywhere. I swept the area that Sky Map Pro predicted and there it was, in a gap in the clouds. Once located, I could see it without the bins. A couple of minutes later and the clouds covered it all up so I retired indoors and celebrated with a beer. - Mike in Portsmouth, UK. |
