Conjunction Moon and Planets.

Conjunction Moon and Planets.
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

nice one Steve. Here we got a bad spell of weather. Had no chance yet to get decent pictures of the comet Leonard. Also no good weather predictions for the comming days

We get the same on Friday as well but moon up the top you guessed it going to be cloudy. the winds have been horrific over the last few days and no sign of abating.

A great conjunction here Steve. I think we might have seen them too but in our persistent rains -not much chance of that.

Keep safe. Herb
