Canon 350D + Megrez 80/480 refractor on a tripod.

Description

Today from France, the Moon was occulting Venus. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the moments of the emmersion and imersion of Venus because of clouds. But they gave me some nice pictures, filling the blue sky with white patches. With the naked eyes, the show was really impressive: a pale crescent Moon with a bright dot (visible as a Quarter in the instrument). Many other pictures visible in this gallery.

Description

I was struck with the beauty of this sceene. Sunset with Venus and some bright stars reflections on the sea surface. Silhouettes of distant islands and lighthouses lights, added to the atmosphere of the moment. I enhenced slightly in Photoshop the visibility of the reflected stars and nothing else.

Fuji FinePix S5300. Exposure of 15 seconds at F4, 1600 ISO

Description

I did this after reading "Moonbows over Yosemite" (S&T, 5/07) My first attempt at doing such. There were about 100 people there. Conditions were perfect. The following night there was cloud cover. Due to the <50% snowpack, I don't expect there will be much water flow by June's full moon.

The Moon and Venus made a lovely pairing in the western sky, though high thin clouds moved in at sunset, making the view and photos less sharp. Still, an eye-catching sight!
