Tonight actually turned out to be fairly clear so I went for it! What’s it you say? The conjunction of the planets Saturn and Neptune which is supposed to be the best one in 800 years or so. I tried but I couldn’t get a good shot of the planets – they look more like sensor dust but I’m glad I put on all of my snowy cold weather gear and gave it a shot.
Maybe in the next couple of days until the 21st when the planets will be their closest, I will try again… that is if the weather cooperates. Bottom line, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate again (which the weather report is saying) I seized the moment and got to see this celestial event with my own eyes so I feel pretty good.
I think the waxing crescent moon turned out pretty good though.

I can see them getting closer very clearly here with the naked eye, maybe because we are much further south in central Florida.
Very cool! I’ve watched them get closer when the weather let me here but the weather has not been too cooperative. Can you see the rings?
No, maybe if I had a telescope.
Very nice. i always struggle to capture the moon.
It’s not that hard once you find the formula that works for you. Try looking on YouTube which is what I did.
I’ll give it a go. Thank you.
There you go. A nice clear shot of the moon.
Thanks, Tim.
You must have stayed up late to catch this. Thanks
Nope! It was a little bit after sunset.
Great!!👍😃
It’s been fun watching them get closer and closer together in the evening sky. As long as the nights stay clear I’ll be able to see it happened here. I took pictures of them last night. But they are just still so far away.
It has been exciting…when I could see the sky 😆
I am glad you and Tim Price are posting photos of the nearing conjunction event. We had clouds and rain here the last few nights. I am hoping for a break on Monday.
Glad you are enjoying. Last night was the first night I’ve had clear enough skies here in awhile…will see how things go.
Well done. Even if I had the proper gear (or a roll of film for my ASAHI- Pentax) I couldn’t get such a shot. Too much city light. Can’t see stars practically. 🌓
And that’s why when you can you must retreat to the open country 🙂
