In a telescope, you might be able to see some banding with Saturn. You might be able to see its ring and like I said the transit of Titan coming up as well. Neptune is going to look like a blue dot with a little bit of green in it. It's kind of a greenish blue dot just to the left of Saturn. But you'll see a discernible diff as opposed to a pinpoint when you look at stars. So definitely get your binoculars or telescope out and see if you can spot those two planets. Luckily they're fairly early in the evening. You don't have to stay up too late to spot them. This is KI0AR net control for the Colorado Astronomy Net continuing. Oh, let's see. Continuing on with dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is rising about 9 o'clock in the evening this week. Ceres can be spotted low to the south near midnight when it is highest in the sky. Ceres is in constellation of Venus shining at magnitude 7.8. We've got Pluto rising in the late afternoon. You can move it from 4 to 5 pm. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the late evening when it is also highest in the sky to the south. That will definitely be around midnight. Pluto is in the constellation of Cappacorna shining at magnitude 15.2. Maybe about between 11 and midnight from Pluto. But you'll definitely need some dark skies and a large telescope to spot Neptune, Ceres and Pluto.
