    Right now if it wasn't for clouds those 2 planets would be visible. I'm hoping for a clear spot to move in so I can catch it with my telescope.  
     
    They would be low on the southwest sky. They will be the brightest o:bjects on that location.

    Clouds cleared away enough for us to see it here!

    I started looking at it about 5:30 PM tonight and there were some interlaced clouds going by. By 6:00 it was more visible but with the naked eye I could not tell if it was two separate planets. Does it look any more brighter now at 8:20pm. If so I will go for a drive in the country and look.

    We managed to get a decent look at 6pm. We could clearly see two separate planets. I managed to get the photo posted with my pixel phone.
