Hi, Did anyone get a picture of (?) Jupiter hanging above the moon this morning? Also, has anyone had any luck seeing Comet Lovejoy. We havent found orion yet- the comet is supposed to be nearby. Suggestions? Thanks, cyn

I would have liked to have seen it, photographing it is out of my current realm of possibilities. Best I can do is a screen shot from 6 am Mexico City and maybe something here

I have regularly seen comet Lovejoy. It's now East of Orion, as it travels. I saw it last night around 8pm, before the moon was up. If you looked at about position 12:00 (straight up) but to the south, there was Orion; Lovejoy could be seen if you sighted along the feet of Orion. Or, come to the intersection of Puerto Melaque and 9 de Octubre streets at 8pm tonight and I'll show you. Bring a flashlight because we don't have great streetlights here south of the arroyo .. But that makes for better stargazing. Solomon
