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... -------------------- |

For the past two weeks I've been insanely jealous of everyone posting pics of Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and the moon all over the internet. In my neck of the woods it's been cloudy since the middle of January!!! But last night the temperature got down really low, around -20C, most of the haze and cloud disappeared from the sky, and I made a trek through the snow up to the top of the hill behind the house. That's where I got this gem of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury.
This was my first time ever observing Mercury, after nearly 15 years of looking at the night sky. It was cold out there - by the end of the session my fingers were so numb I couldn't feel where the buttons were on my camera, at that point I was more or less randomly touching the camera and hoping that I was getting it right. But it was so worth it. |
