Saw Jupiter and Saturn [View all]

Yesterday was too cloudy but this evening we caught it from the highest point of Hennepin County in Plymouth.

Jupiter is always the brightest spot in the sky and Saturn was "two inches" to its right. With the aid of binoculars could see that Saturn was elongated, the hint of the rings.

No, no photos. My brand new iPhone does not have night vision or, at least, have not found it yer..
