Thanks again for yet another good Podcast. (^^,) And with the free app ' SkyView free ' for your phone, it's a breeze to find all the Planets and Constellations, just by tapping on them and get even more info. on them. Try to set the date around Dec. 21 and then find Jupiter and Saturn, next time to see this is in 2040. Dec. 16 you get the moon in the picture too. The phone just need the GPS to be working, no Internet is needed. ... Can also recommend the free app ' Light Pollution Map ' if you want a darkest spot nearby, if you want clear view of the Milky Way. E.g. for Telescope or Photos. And remember, allways looking up and see way back in time. (^^,)
Thanks for the good guides. (^^,)
