Hey folks,

I just see how bright star venus here in equator. I'm awakened by Adzan Subuh prayer. :biggrin:

remember that currently
as well as being conjunct by longitude
Jupiter and Venus within two degrees of same LATITUDE :smile:


so perhaps that was Jupiter
or

both planets close by LATITUDE

True, I see Jupiter too but really can't catch it in picture because the sober equipment. :crying:

I'm not sure which is Jupiter and which is Venus.

Astrology threads are for astrological posts only. Your picture of Venus (edit: and your picture of Jupiter), while lovely, isn't an astrological post. That's why I've taken the hint posted by petosiris and moved the above posts to Chat.

I'm sure the brightest one is Venus because Jupiter is close to Sun ascendancy.

I wonder how to catch other 3 stars? [Mercury, Saturn, Mars]
Click to expand...
currently Mercury and Saturn are rising not long before sunrise
so it's possible if local skies are sufficiently clear of cloud
and if you reside in a city, clear of light pollution with no buildings obscuring

find time of local sunrise
then ONE HOUR BEFORE SUNRISE
begin skywatch for Mercury and Saturn :smile:

obviously be very careful DO NOT directly view Sun at sunrise itself

You have to look for them when they're in the night sky. Mars is currently in Aries, and Aries rises in the middle of the day at this time of year. At sunset, Mars should be somewhere near the midheaven. If you're at the equator, it's probably more or less directly overhead. By the time you're getting those early morning pictures of Venus and Jupiter, Mars has set. It would be going down around the middle of the night. So, sunset to about midnight is the time frame to find Mars.

Saturn and Mercury are too close to the sun right now to be seen in the night sky. They rise in the day, and set around when the sun does, so we can't see them. (Unless you're in a very clear area with no light pollution and looking right before sunrise, as Jupiter mentioned.)

keep in mind that astronomers use constellations for night skies viewing
and so
look for Mars currently midway along CONSTELLATION OF PISCES
i.e.
Mars is visible in local night skies
in the foreground of the CONSTELLATION OF PISCES :smile:

I'll try to look at them next time
But the mercury is very difficult to see these days. :crying:
Maybe there are particularly tricks to see mercury
From what I know it could be seen
when mercury is in 10° from the sun,
or I'm mistaken for this tricks.

Mercury is usually very difficult to observe

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun :smile:

and so
best time to view Mercury
is BEFORE SUNRISE
BUT ONLY IF Mercury is rising BEFORE the Sun
and also
AFTER SUNRISE
BUT ONLY IF Mercury is setting AFTER the Sun
i.e.
Like Venus, Mercury orbits the Sun within Earth's orbit as an inferior planet
and never exceeds 28° away from the Sun when viewed from Earth.

MERCURYs closeness to the Sun
means the planet can only be seen
near the western or eastern horizon
during the early evening or early morning :smile:
At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object
but is often far more difficult to observe than Venus.
