Hi all,

Here's a very quick image of Venus passing the Beehive cluster tonight. It looked great in binoculars!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for posting this Stephen,

I spent last night doing 10 sec captures of the clouds testing the beta version of FireCapture, still get up at 4am for Jupiter but mostly seems to be the same, clouds.

Nice to see a wide field image with no clouds in it.

Regards
Trevor

Thanks Trevor. Sounds like you copped a fair bit of cloudy weather lately. Hope it clears soon.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for posting the image Stephen.
I didn't realise there was a conjunction tonight.

Thanks Nettie. The conjunction was actually last Sunday and Monday evenings!
