Jupiter and Venus Conjunction

[davefrance]

Not quite as close as I was expecting having studied the conjunction on Stellarium but still within the frame with the set up I had chosen. Not much time between when it started to get dark and the duo disappearing behind the trees but I tried my best.

So here goes from widefield to close up (well as close as I could get in the frame)

An attempt to show phase of Venus whilst retaining a respectable Jupiter

Venus, Jupiter and Moons - a little closer

Very good - I especially like the last one. Sadly all my set up turned to nothing tonight as complete cloud cover rolled in!!

Lovely set Dave. Nice effect with the clouds.

Not clouds, trees but the effect is the same.

Not been a cloud in the sky here for days until about 9pm and one started moving towards the west. I gave it the evil eye and it disappeared.

I also thought they were going to look closer, what i did manage to see between the clouds wasnt that much difference from the previous night.

Yes think the predictions were out a touch

Our weather forecast was out of touch, supposed to be clear but cloud appeared on cue at sunset so no pic's here, glad you got some nice mementos
