Planetary triple play on deck Sunday

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Stargazers will get a rare triple planetary treat this weekend with Jupiter, Mercury and Mars appearing to nestle together in the predawn skies. About 45 minutes before dawn on Sunday those three planets will be so close that the average person's thumb can obscure all three from view.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try to find a place to see them today and take the telescope there.

Thanks for the info, Rich---I just hope the sky is clear that morning... looks like it should be, but in central Ohio you can never tell...

Do you have a camera mount ?

No, not yet. I need to order the mount and t-ring.
