Venus sets as the sun rises

The new edition of Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest’s guide

2 January 2013 – Happy New Year Stargazers! Not a great Christmas for stargazing – so yesterday I decided to start the New Year with my daytime hobby (birdwatching – more binocular work). Driving to Minsmere before dawn, I was making towards a planet setting in the southeast. Must be Venus, I decided when I got home and opened my NEW guide – Stargazing 2013.
