Did anyone else see it? We spent about an hour out in the freezing cold watching it until it dipped below the Olympics.

Default No telescope, but a 500 mm lens on the camera.

We may look at it with a telescope tomorrow night.

Default It was fascinating, and there were tons of other people out looking at it too.

It will be visible again tomorrow at sunset if you'd like a chance to see it. Look down and to the right from venus after 4:00 or so.

Default Very nice from down here in O-town, too. About 2 degrees lower tonight: will make it harder to find.

Brought my binoculars today, also.
