PhotographerJonathan GrunLocationFranschhoek, South AfricaDateJanuary 20, 2007EquipmentCanon A85 compact digital camera.DescriptionWe were on a mountain overlooking Franschhoek (on holiday from the UK) when we spotted the comet. I only had my pocket camera and had to rest it on a litter bin to keep it steady and it was blowing a gale. A few minutes later Venus emerged from behind the moon looking like a tiny South African diamond - a real bonus! Not the greatest photograph but a brilliant memento of a fantastic occasion. |

PhotographerJay EdwardsLocationMaine, NY 42 N, 76 WDate1/20/2007 7:07 PMEquipmentCanon Powershot A40, 210 MM, 400 ASA, f/4.8, 1s exposureDescriptionWith both objects just fitting into the field of view of 15 x 70 binoculars, the close proximity to the horizon at the time, combined with the poor seeing caused Venus to vary from yellow to a bright reddish-orange; while the moon took on a "candled-egg" appearance. Dispite the blowing snow & below-zero wind-chills, such a beautiful sight made the experience worth enduring the weather! |
