Hi all, I was advised by Ronan Newman of Galway Astronomy Club to take a two second exposure of the moon and venus an hour after sunset! It was amazing!

Now, i have caught the crescent shape of venus through our 4.5" soligor telescope and a sony digital camera!

Then all of a sudden it clouded up, yet venus was so bright you could still see it!

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

Beautiful images there :D

I was clouded out this evening for that conjunction.

Nice work Matthew, you have really caught the bug now!

The sight from Daingean/Tullamore was beautiful. Could not mistake Venus, even in the bright 16:10hrs dusk light. When it got darker after 17:30hrs, the pair were magnificent!

Not bad at all Matthew!

It is amazing what can be done with a video camera and a telescope.

Later,

Jed.
