Perfect views of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus outside right now in perfect arc, with Neptune coming up soon and Mercury just below the horizon.  Always fun to spot them especially with 4+ visible by easy ID.

I’ve got an 8” Dobson I just cleaned up but only one eyepiece. I need to get some more ASAP for all the views that are happening right now.

Ha! I actually noticed Mars chasing the moon last night when I was walking the dog. I didn't know the whole gang was there.

Perfect arc.  In your field view is Mars, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus.   Venus barely above horizon.   Jupiter next brightest to mars.  Saturn directly right of moon.

I gave your mom the 8 inch Dobson last night.

Mars is the closest to the earth since 2003.  That was the closest it had come to Earth in 60,000 years, or 54,000 years before it was created.
