A few of my workmates saw it last night - I didn't know to be looking!

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.

Jupiter and Venus around 6pm last night as I walked the pooch round the block , I have a bog standard iphone, would have been incredible though a telescope

Yeah that was my thoughts - usually with the "naked eye" (or naked phone) planets just look like very bright stars, but caught on phone camera last week you could clearly make out the light/shadow detail of them being little spheres.

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 .
