Like I said still not enough to over-ride my laziness, and our telescope remains in the dusty cupboard .

It was like £500 and we've used it twice in 5 years .

Did see Jupiter and Venus very bright and clear earlier in the evening though. My wife's just got a new phone (s23 ultra) and the zoom on it managed to capture both as clear "planets" (little globes) which was fascinating on a phone camera! We do have a "proppa" telescope but I can never be arsed setting it up.
