FINALLY the cloud cleared today, and feeling like Trinity seeing the clear sky for the first time, in the Matrix sequel, I went up to the castle and got some pics...
That last one shows the ISS moving through the sky too... -------------------- |

Once again working in Arica Chile.
I can tell you that it's even more spectacular sitting on a beach, wearing shorts and having a beer . I'll try to take a shot tonight. -------------------- |

Admiring dazzling Venus on this chilly Michigan evening I wondered this: if it had a moon of similar size and orbital characteristics to our own, would it be a naked eye object?

Yes, easily, but it might get lost in Venus' glare if you didn't block out Venus. Jupiter's Galilean satellites can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies if you occult Jupiter with a tree or the edge of a building. -------------------- Jonathan Ward
