Moon in Blue

Beautiful! Well done, I like those daytime moonpics....

Can one take these pictures from other planets as well or does

the sun block any vision you get (or burns away the lens or eyes...)

Seeing that we have a couple of early planet-rises, I just wondered...

Did something crazy last night, set the alarm at 4.45 (UK 3.45) and actually wanted to look east for the "Rise of the Planets" :eek:

Of course I checked Stellarium for the time of good viewing from

my backyard, but forgot one thing : already way too light....

So I took my bins and suddenly I saw something and thought it was a distant plane or something, but realised it didn't move...

Checked again against Stellarium and watched again with the

bins and it hit me : that must have been Jupiter. Tried to find it with the scope, but pointing at something you cannot see, even with glasses on, is very difficult, especially when everything was

already a bright white in the FOV :)

But unless I was wrong it must have been my first sighting

of Jupiter.... :(

Thanks Chris, and you can, but... be very careful that you're not trying to look at something too near the sun, you really don't want to be pointing your bins or scope at it.
