Further notes on the conjunction

Getting Closer

An image with 200mm lens. 5sec @ f8 showing Jupiter with Io Ganymede, Callisto and Venus.

A video showing their setting tonight - nicely shows atmospheric dimming at the horizon is approached. (the image shift part way through is where I has to stop for a minute or so to change batteries)

Not so much the Moon (artistically out of focus) but the way the sky turns in shades of blue from day to night.

The old moon in the new moon's arms

Quite pleased with my montage showing how earthshine should look. Now I have to do it for real. Sounds like a bit of extreme HDR.
