Is the upper shiny spot a bright star or Deimos?

For those who have "higher end" digital cameras capable of time exposures, there is an appropriate and beautiful sight visible. I noticed, at about 1:00 AM CDT in the eastern sky, Mars, Aldebaran and the Pleiades just off the horizon. Given our current Spirit Pancams of the Martian moons and the Pleiads, this would be a great photo for your collection.
I have a low-end digital and she no like time exposure...  --Bill -------------------- |

QUOTE It was the age-old miracle of the Martian nights that is always new, even to Martians--two moons resplendent in the heavens, where one had been but now; conflicting, fast-changing shadows that altered the very hills themselves; far Cluros, stately, majestic, almost stationary, shedding his steady light upon the world below; Thuria, a great and glorious orb, swinging swift across the vaulted dome of the blue-black night, so low that she seemed to graze the hills, a gorgeous spectacle that held the girl now beneath the spell of its enchantment as it always had and always would. --Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Chessmen of Mars

Hi Bill,
I noticed that, too, a few days ago. I took this picture on 06 September at 3 UT, exposure time of 10 mins at 400 ASA with a 8 mm lense @ f/5.6. That morning was simply beautiful with the milkyway spanning across the sky and the zodiacal light along the plane of the ecliptic. I'm already looking forward to observing Mars this fall Michael

Thats funny, at exactly the same time, with exactly the same equipment, I was taking a similar exposure of the sky here in Leicester

It may be easier to sell them on the project by phrasing it as "get up that early"

Hmm...
Hadn't thought of it like that! I'll give it a shot.

That's the highest you can get by car in Northern Germany. It's about 1.5 hours drive from home, but it's absolutely worth it.Michael |
