ASTRO: Mercury & Jupiter on New Year's Eve - Mercury&JupiterThroughTrees1.JPG (0/1)
While I've got a couple of small scopes (a Meade and Cave 8"
Newtonian) and I've done some astrophotography, I rarely get it all out of the city these days. But I have some decent cameras and telephoto lenses, and tonight's display of planets was an easy target from my roof in Southern California. In all of the star parties I've ever been to I don't recall seeing Mercury more than once or twice -- two nights ago, with Jupiter nearby, I saw it as a naked eye object while I was driving on the 101 freeway about a half hour after sunset. Tonight it was just as easy. Photos taken with a Canon Rebel XTi using a 300mm Tamron telephoto lens. MomDude |
