Are they to the SW and separated by the length of a Surface tablet at arms length? If so cool

It’s also a great time to view Mars. Look up in the southern sky and it’s that large bright orange tinged object...

I had only glanced at the thread title and thought it said Mars & Venus.
I do know what the moon looks like.

if you hold your iPad up to the sky with one of the many many star finding apps, then possibly.

Spent 5 min starring at it last night. I'm still waiting for Venus to be slightly higher than the Crescent Moon, not even sure if they ever orientate that way.

Saw the moon and venus while sky watching on my evening dog walk last night. Looking forward to tonight.

Sorry, Venus will be ahead of the moon by quite a bit tonight.

Damn.

Misread your post.

iPhone has the same app store, so yes.

Surface may have an app for it.

About 45 minutes earlier Regulus was visible near the horizon, below and to the right of the Moon.

Good stuff this month.

That was pretty cool. I didn't know about it, I just happened to look up and see it.

Not my pic.
