anza street observatory monday 12.01.2008




that's the south west view out my window last night. i was trying to take pictures of the spectacle that is jupiter, venus, and the crescent moon.




that's about the best least lousy shot i got all evening. it was hard to get a clean picture with all the light pollution. i had to hold a piece of cardboard below the lens to block out the glare from the street lights. only if i could block out the rest of the city.




and that's the very last shot i took before i folded up the tripod. the moon turned bright orange before it went out of sight. the spectacle continues tonight. nice way to start a new month.

happy december, everyone!
