    The star of Bethlehem.....maybe!

    Who knows but it was a great spectacle to see this evening. Saturn just above Jupiter in the low south west sky. Tomorrow they should be close enough to appear as one bright star which some say was the astronomical event which lead the 3 wise men to Jesus.

    Weather is not looking good round my way tomorrow though.

    Great photo. I tried with Telescope, but because I don't have a proper stand it was difficult. I saw three points of light and another off to the side, which I believe is Saturn. It was like the telescope like pic down the page here:
