Last 2 nights, the london skies cleared up, uncovering some cool astronomical stuff happening those days.
It was too late for Comet McNaught 2006P1, which displayed an amazing show for those who caught it in time. The brightest comet for the last 30 years at least. It lasted 4 days as she circled the sun mid January. pics here
But it was right in time to see the Moon flirting with Saturn. What an amazing vision, seeing the moon, 200 thousand miles away from us, transiting in 1/2h in front of Saturn, 821 millions miles further away. Here is a picture I've taken with my telescope and a simple digital camera...
