Pretty overcast and wet today and I have a feeling that the Earth will be the only celestial object I'll be seeing on New Year's Eve! But the New Year looms!Try a moon filter on Venus as that dampens its glare and you can sometimes get the phases.Very impressive with Venus and Jupiter shining across the sky at each other as it gets dark at similar latitudes at dusk one in the west and the other in the east.
5:07 - I was always taught [as a classical scholar] that this is pronounced as ap-helion not aph-elion. "Peri" means close in greek, "apo" means "away from"...Am I wrong?
I just am hoping for clear skies on the 4th!!! Otherwise I will be 32 during the next occultation of Saturn ;-; I really hope to see it!!!! And maybe photograph it!!£
Meanwhile, on Mars, the aliens are peering across the gulf of space towards the blue and white jewel called Earth 🌎 and they are preparing to invade us just like in the film War of the Worlds. Be afraid, be very afraid 😨 😱
Back in the 90's, there was a Mars opposition so spectacular, one could see the ice caps and surface detail in a 4.5" fast reflector.
2nd Jan and I have found mars, at the age of 67 better late than never in the west from Suffolk CSt Mary . Cheers guys
Happy new year Peter and Paul clear skies fingers crossed

Thanks for these monthly guides chaps. Wishing you and all the team a happy New Year and clear skies for 2025! 😀
Fantastic as always! Happy New Year to you all! Thank you for these great videos!
Hoping our Jan is better than our 'not seen a thing' December.

It's just not the same when I'm not getting this info from Alyn Wallace

You guys are getting all the occultations
My Istar 150mm f8 R35 refractor is all polished and ready to go.

I do find the sniping of Pete's co host rather unpleasant.
He's just jealous of Pete's awesomeness.
