Try this for fun Get some pics of Vesta and pic out which bright spot is it while it is near Jupiter . Starry nights makes it easy to find .Tony

Could you mark it? I appear to be dumb today.

Nice shots Tony!

Here's mine from last night & tonight - the movement of the asteroid is quite obvious. These were just shot off the tripod with 400D & 18-55mm kit lens. Any longer exposure & I found the star trailing to be too obvious

Tony,

The 4th pic in your 2nd group is a pearler!!!!

I love the way you can see the Milky Way, the dark lanes running to Antares, and the Antares Nebula. As well as Joop and Vesta.

That's going to the PoolRoom!!!

Nice work
