I thought I’d take a gander at the Venus-Pleiades conjunction the next night (Apr. 4) and the viewing was a little bit better than on the 3rd. Venus was sitting above the Pleiades and I could make out the two fainter stars, one just to the right of the star immediately below Venus and the other between the bottom two stars in Pleiades. I couldn’t see these on the third. The air seems very clear today, so I’ll take another look this evening. Again, here’s last night’s rendition from the Stellarium software.
