Saw this post today :-(
But I believe the weather was no good for astro shots.

Hey folks, don't forget the pre-sunrise photo challenge Monday morning: 
Jupiter, Antares and the moon in a convenient triangle.

From my area, they're in the south-east in the very early morning, but the 
weather has been cloudy and rainy the last few days, and the forecast says 
more of the same.  I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I'm going to 
try.

Good luck to anyone else who makes the attempt!

John

 Well, I was going to set my alarm and head up to an east facing lookout 
 not far from here - but, it started raining on Saturday and hasn't stopped 
 since (not that I'm complaining, mind you)


Yeah, it's cloudy here too, though no rain today.

*sigh*  Maybe next time.  Anyone have any good night sky images in mind for 
the near future?

It was also cloudy this morning, but It's clear now (although the moon 
is not as close to Jupiter and Antares anymore) and I think I'll try it 
tomorrow morning (bad idea since tomorrow I'll fly for a business trip).

Next similar event is Feb-19 at sunset: the moon will be *VERY* close to 
Venus right after sunset. Probably more spectacular than my previous 
GESO: Venus will be only 1 moon diameter from the moon.

I got up early to a complete overcast sky.  Cleared nicely once the sun 
rose...
