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

Venus will become more crescent-shaped and larger this month - already less than half full in this photo taken April 2nd, a few days after the one above.
I used a Canon XS attached in place of an eyepiece on a 200mm aperture Dobsonian Reflector Telescope, 1/50 second exposure ISO-400 using the prime focus technique. Photo cropped from a very large, mostly blank exposure. |
