TheMorning Planets at this time

Maybe it was, I don't know! I really can't remember!

I must be getting old...... :shock:

Grabbed a quick snap of Jupiter and the Moon this morning before I left for work...



Although they don't show up in the pic I could make out Callisto, Ganymede and Io in the scope.

At least these dark winter mornings are good for something.....

hi everyone,

if you haven't downloaded it yet, the Nov/Dec "Arcturus" in the FILES section of this board (or maybe even in Reálta? ) details the chance to see all the five naked-eye planets simultaneously above the horizon from the third week of December to mid-January.

good to hear from you Ty . . . hope you enjoyed the trip over for the Whirlpool Star Party.

all the best,

John

Nice shot Andrew! what scope and camera did you take that with?


Seanie.

that is indeed an excellent image!
I would also be interested to hear what scope/lens you used.

Thanks folks.

Nothing spectacular equipment wise, I'm afraid. I'm using a Celestron 114EQ and I was so pleasantly surprised to see both the moon and Jupiter in the same field of view this morning that I just grabbed the handiest camera I had - a Panasonic DV movie camera set to still mode and pointed it into the eyepiece...
