Viewed Nice naked eye conjunction in western twilight of three planets last couple of nights.  The best viewing was in late twilight, around 9:00 to 9:15 EDT here in WVa.  Lots of people have never seen Mercury so the other two in the triangle guide the eye to the dimmest, Mercury.  Used binocs and all were well in field of 7x35's.

Next good planetary conjunction due in 2015.

Viewing the stars and celestial events is very pretty. Got to be a away from the city lights to see the heavens.
