I and members of my family (a grand daughter's birthday) + friends were out at SPOC with my 8" telescope and Canon camera that evening (along with Ted Cunningham who had his own group of family and friends huddled around the Bogden refractor scope). Needless to say, I and my Canon took advantage of the situation with the lake in the foreground, a nicely lit American flag flapping over the Benson Grist Mill in the background and the triple star line up (okay, 2 of the 3 points of light were planets and not stars) hovering over it all higher up in the heavens. I'll be posting the results of my endevors on the Utah Astronomy Picture Website within the next week or so as I'm still photographing the changing position of the planets. Something tells me I'll be including this latest series of conjunction pictures in one of my PowerPoint presentations that I give at the SPOC star parties the half hour preceeding the evening's observing session.

The moon sure looked reddened, didn't it? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
