Wordless Wednesday ~ Moon Passes Jupiter Last Sunday Evening
I've tried to take pictures of the planets before without much success. Is there a website you use to find out where the planets will be?
Amazing night shots!
Ratty, I started sky watching early too. I bought a cardboard tube telescope from Edmund Scientific (I think) when I was in Jr High. As an adult I had a 6" telescope, but sold it and today use naked eye or binoculars (7×50 or 10×70).
Sharkbytes, I shot those with Sylvia's CMC-TZ5 point-and-shoot camera in the "night portrait" mode. I am amazed at its performance. I used a tripod to steady things.
Chuck! Did you take those night pix? Those are awesome. Through a telescope or just with the zoom on the camera and a long exposure. Please tell all!
Watching the night sky was my first passion. when I was a kid, I remember my grandpa had a telescope set up in his backyard. He used to bring my uncle and me out to watch any of the special events. My uncle does this for his kids now.
