what i can tell they be moving farther apart from each other after 12/04/2008
you can get the software and watch it so you can tell when were they be in your part of the world what i seen is when they do move apart from each other the moon is up higher and the two planet be lower right of the moon in the west near the horizon between the hours 18Hrs till 21hrs or 6pm-9pm around about, they be bright in the night sky do to the sun light be hitting them so they shine brighter then the stars in the sky ends 12/07/2008

man i wish i had your eye's to see mars in the day time near the sun lol kids don't look near the sun or at the sun without special filter glasses to safe guard your eye's on when looking at the sun, other wise you most likely go blind no joke!! cheap trick but it works on a clear day you can do a special trick to see mars use a small mirror reflect the sun onto a white paper or tan in color to see the solar flares of the sun and planets near the sun. you can pull the mirror farther away from the paper to till it can be seen good. better to see use a star telescope of some type, remove the eye piece on it so it shot out on a sheet of large paper on the ground, you can ether zoom in using the telescope or move the paper close or away from the telescope to enlarge the image to be focus in on to it.

OK Chief you own me some cold meds. These were taken from 70 - 300 mm Tele Macro lens - f/5.6 and Ff/4. The last one shows a plane under the moon.
