Today I observed the Sun again. There are still just few small sunspots, but with interesting structure (bigger magnification was needed for more detailed view).

True 

[Toliman]

Yeah, I know it very well from old times of my beginnings with stargazing

[Vawmataw]

I saw Mercury tonight for the last time until May
On the other hand, Venus will reappear in May, but it will stay close to the horizon.

[Toliman]

I had not too luck with Mercury recently (clouds above horizon always in bad time, hrh)

Yeah, Venus will remain quite low above horizon whole year.

[Toliman]

[Vawmataw]

So true, including the clickbait headlines that are not actually true.

[Toliman]

Yeah, you are right

[Toliman]

Finaly found some time for my own observation. Yesterday evening I briefly observed Orion and Rosette nebulae, some clusters in Auriga, Taurus and Gemini + few fainter galaxies. It was very nice, now just hope for good weather for next days, hrh

Yeah, our toys are very expensive

Yay, seems that weather could improve a bit in next days (but air will be still very frosty, hrh)
