Got up this morning at 5.20am, 22degC, warm and just cracking light on the Eastern horizon, and saw this, stunning and I stared for around 5 minutes.
Then I got my binoculars and had a good look, this universe is wonderful!
Pics don't do it justice, anyone else into astronomy?
Venus is the brighter of the two, Jupiter the other.

It's now 6am, just went out again to look,the sky is light, Sun just below the horizon and Venus is still shining bright!
