Jupiter and Venus 22Nov08

It's the first clear evening for about a week in Brisbane, so I took the opportunity and grabbed a shot of Venus nearing Jupiter in the western sky. Looking forward to the close conjunction next weekend!

Cheers,
Stephen

Well done Stephen.Good practice run before the big one. I am also looking forward to the mouth-watering conjunction on 1 Dec.:doh: Poor weather here in Sydney with less than 5 clear days since IISAC!! Fingers cross.:D

Hi there guys, I'm looking forward to this too, ordered my first scope (real scope that is, not from toyworld) yesterday. If I haven't got it by friday, it should come on Monday. Just in time!!

Nice one Stephen, been a little cloudy up here, though will keep trying. They certainly are looking beautiful at the moment.

Thanks for the comments.

The forecast for Brisbane is rain until late Saturday, but fine Sunday and Monday, so hopefully it will be clear Monday night!

Cheers,
Stephen

Stephen,

That's a great photograph. I love the silhouette of the trees.
