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

Lots of people have been asking me about those two brilliant dots in the evening sky! They have been pleasantly surprised that they really can see this astronomical event I was telling them about (not always the case).
I think this photo shows just how noticeable Jupiter and Venus are in the evening sky. The planets are the two white dots below center. I took this photo in my car, while stopped at the (long) light, a 2 second exposure while holding the camera on the steering wheel. (Compressed to fit this site.) So, even amidst the lights of suburban New York City, I was able to see this outstanding sight! bob |
