Venus & Jupiter this morning
Despite cloud covering all of the UK, Selsey remained totally clear.
This has been attributed to the lack of atmosphere in the town ;-) Actually, conditions were not very good this morning with a big ring around the Moon and lots of thick cloud. A few gaps did meander their way into the appropriate postion through. Hazy cloud tends to make bright objects like Venus and to a lesser extent Jupiter, appear much bigger than they should because you're also taking a picture of the illuminated haze around the object. http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/vj_conj_nov04.html -- Pete Lawrence http://www.digitalsky.org.uk |

Or is Selsey too exiting for you? I particularly like the last image (V+J-20041104_10D3) showing all four Galilean moons. - Mike |

I actually got to bed early (about 10:30) up at 4:30 and back to bed for another hour at 6:30. Haze was a major problem this morning and the separation was too great to get much detail from the planets. Tomorrow might be better though. Very nice set of pictures - thanks for sharing them :-) Jim -- Find me at http://www.ursaMinorBeta.co.uk "Brace yourself, this might make your eyes water." |

For me, thin clouds and a light haze always make fine pictures with bright objects at the beginning (or the end) of a day. -- Norbert.
