Roger,

Not to worry, Man! I'll get over it :-)
No, seriously I see that in order to get real
astronomy shots you need real equipment for it, and I
just don't have it. That's fine.
Maybe you can help me on this one. I understand you
are in London or the UK anyway. Well, I'm in Zurich so
not too different a location longitude and
latitude-wise.
I've been looking in the southernly skies every
evening now, and it seems I just cannot find a
particularly bright small object that should be Mars.
Could it be that Mars is standing too low over our
horizon? We have a chain of hills nearby that is
blocking our southernly horizon to quite some degree
in central Zurich.
If I wanted to see Mars tonight, say at 10pm London
time (11pm here), in which direction do I have to look
for it? How high or low above the horizon should Mars
be?
Thanks for a your helpful guidance.
Thomas
