Eta Cas and a planetary conjunction

Conditions:
Murky, terrible, overcast and foggy

Targets Observed:
Eta Cass, Jupiter and Venus

Music
None

Notes
THis is actually an entry from November 4 and 5. On the evening, trying out the telescope with my dad, the conditions were clear all day and then in the evening the moisture had precipitated in the sky to become cloud and low fog. Through the murk though we spotted eta Cas, a beuatiful pair with a yellow primary and a red companion. it was all we could see through the cloud.

The next morning, riding the ferry to the mainland, I was mesmerized by the stunning conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.
