Default ASTRO: May Planets - Jupiter, Saturn, & Venus

Some friends and I took these on the full-moon night of May 30/31 2007 using
our 20-inch RC Cass and my Celestron NexImage camera.

Clear Sky Clock had predicted good seeing starting around 11pm local
time........ they were wrong!

Next time I'll try the A-P refractor for planets and hopefully I'll hit one
of the very rare nights of good seeing in the North East US.

I wonder when we'll really have a triple conjunction that close!

Don't know Rick..... all I know is that I need to move to Florida if I ever
want to take good planet pictures!

George,

at least Jupiter looks good, especially considering that it doesn't get very
high.
