If you look up, you will see Venus and Jupiter next to each other. Very pretty.

Yes, it is very impressive Dawg!! I was very disapointed today due to the clouds in the sky, and yesterday was just not as impressive.

@Bikerbrent They will be in conjunction tomorrow night and will be about 1/2 degree apart. The planets will be setting at 8:07 and 8:12 tomorrow.
They were spectacular enough tonight that even my husband noticed them and asked if something planetary was happening.

I got hailed and snowed on this afternoon in Wildomar. I was driving home, and there were clear skies over Lake Elsinore. It was a strange afternoon. There was evidence of hail in my backyard.

I wanted to try. I took a fall 2 weeks ago and injured a knee. It is a very slow recovery, only returned to work Monday. It will be some time yet before I feel good enough to lug the astro-gear around.

Hope you feel better soon BF!

Did you see them with the moon the other night?

Sorry about you knee injury. Hope you get some nice photos and views of the Venus and Jupiter display.

Thank you @Marilynne and @Bikerbrent. I have made big strides in recovery over 2 weeks and expect that to continue over another 1-2 weeks.

No, I didn't, and I forgot to go out tonight when they were the closest to each other. I need to set an alarm to remember.

We had two waves of rain and snow in this area. I think it is finally clearing out.

Nice clear shot! But why f/13?

Thanks Brent......

F13 because I wanted to get star points on the lights...rather than blobs... Unfortunately, around here, the light pollution is very bad...
