Took a few quick shots of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction this morning. It sure was a beautiful sight!

Thanks, Vincent B. for the earlier advice. My lunar shots are turning out better now.

Regards,

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.

The weather didn't cooperate on Thursday but I had a look at the pair with my 15x70 binocular this morning. The two were separated by almost a degree and were quite a sight to greet early risers.

Nice shot.

I actually could get both in the same view with a 24SWA (40x) and barely in the same view with a 13mm T6 (77x)

I snapped a few shots with a hand held camera at the EP. I haven't had a chance to look, but if anything came out, I'll post.
