Tonight we have a gorgeous conjunction of these two shiny objects. Personally, I prefer the pics with the dim, blue canvas as I think it really makes the celestial bodies pop!

Did anyone else see the conjunction last night? They were quite brilliant here.
Jupiter and Venus will appear to nearly join in Wednesday’s night sky

#conjunction #venus #jupiter
A #terrestrial demonstration of why it's just about impossible to see the #Moon's surface and #stars simultaneously. Tonight the Moon and #Jupiter (a wandering star or #planet) are in #conjunction -- well just about. And here are two images taken with two different #exposure time.
The first is with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/6 s. The lit part of the Moon is a white featureless blob but, because it's a #misty #night, there's a wonderful #ice #halo which shows #colours from the #VisibleSpectrum. You can see Jupiter directly above.
Next, with a shutter speed of 1/100 s, the #surface of the Moon shows much more contrast but you can barely see Jupiter. Also, the #fog is also invisible.

#astronomy #photography after a first try on 15 December 2020 the best night to observe the 2020 #Jupiter #Saturn #conjunction was on Saturday 19/12/2020, ones again I made a large view (2sec with 50mm f/2.8) and a zoom at the focus of my 8 inches Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope composed of two shots 1/_à seconds for Saturn and 1sec for the satellites (of course Jupiter is overexposed). The view of both planets in the same field of the telescope was awesome, hard to reproduce this with the camera. Thursday was too cloudy to get a nice view of the conjunction with the moon crescent, I only get a quick shot with 80mm focal length just before it disappear behind the clouds ...
#astronomie #astronomy #photography Lucky night ! I get a clear sky with #Jupiter #Saturn just 2 days before their #conjunction , they were visible together in the #telescope field , a beautiful Moon crescent was also visible. Here is some quick shots with the smartphone, others with the CANON EOS 350D need some postprocessing ....
