Planet roll call. Which ones did you see tonight?

Venus

Saturn (toughie)
Jupiter

and best of all Earth!I
I gave up on Uranus and Neptune as they said they were not visible at the time and binoculars/ telescope were necessary.

Won't tonight due to clouds. I took some pictures of Mercury but they're really grainy.
