Saturday morning photography challenge: Jupiter and Mercury low in the east in morning twilight.
On the morning of 15 August, the planets Jupiter and Mercury will be close together. Their separation will be slightly more than the width of the moon.
You need an unobstructed view to the east.
But where exactly to look for them? The finder chart shows that the planets will be below the star Pollux...at least at my latitude of 33 degrees north.
If you live farther north the planets will be below the star Castor.
If you live in the southern hemisphere the planets will be below Procyon, but they will not rise until the sky is considerably brighter. This event favors the northern hemisphere.
Clear skies and good luck!
