Time lapses astronomy Venus Leo

We have a beautiful day among weeks of wet weather.

I am sure you notice the brightness of Venus has further increased. She is now of magnitude minus 3.9 (the lower the brighter).

The bright star appearing towards the end of the video is not Spica of Virgo, but Arcturus of Bootes.

I find the following web site pretty handy to help track stars and planets. You can change the viewing location and time easily to see what's in your sky.
