Steve Paxton's photos with the keyword: Planets

As the heavy clouds where closing in I tried to get a shot of the three Planets and moon clears but not quite to be. the moon is further away from the planets and quite a bit fuller the very last of the daylight.

The shot was taken between the two houses to hide from the light on the street and to try and hide away from the howling winds. take note on the movement in the tree in front in the 1.3sec. Bottom is a very small crescent moon, Next bright start in a line to the right and up is Venus, Saturn is next but quite a bit dimmer and at the top of the line Jupiter. 1.3sec ISO1600 24mm

It was not much of a night try the tracker with everthing for the first time a lot did not work as it should. I turned the camera to Jupiter I thought at first I was getting very bad vibrations from the plate all the dots in a line. From the Top Io, Jupiter, Europa, Ganymede And Callisto. If you look at the setting that was trying to dim the planet Jupiter down but lost all the stars in the sky at ISO 64 and F13

Before Jupiter set below the horizon. Enjoy what winter brings and our dark Skies.
