Closer and closer, great image Van!

I took one last night but it was like looking through weak soup, tonight was better but they are getting close to the tree tops, I may have to change location and I will have to move if I want to get the image on the 21st.
Thanks Michael for the comment.

Another excellent image of the planets, Van, well done! Here is bad weather so please keep them coming if possible.

Thanks Harald, I might get one in Saturday if the weather holds off some but then it's five days of clouds and rain.
Maybe by then your sky will be clear!

Great stuff Van. You will be able to make a movie with this comprehensive record of their approach.

Thanks Niall but each night out I have to change positions due to the trees. I need to learn enough on Photoshop to layer the planets over to show their moving. This has been a fun project and I think tonight will be the last image for a while. 


Awesome image Van. Congratulations.

Thanks Ron, a fun project and I have been lucky with the weather and the view. 


Well done Van! - Cheers Kurt

Once again, a very nice image in the series! And three of the Jovian moons are captured with great resolution. I am so glad that the skies stayed clear for this shot. Hopefully, you can get more images prior to and including the conjunction. This is where wide field shots really shine!

Thanks Steve. I may get one shot tonight early before the weather comes in for the next few days. Hopefully someone else can take the baton and keep this going. I hope to get at least two more images before the 21st or better yet on or after the 21st.
Now it's your turn.

Well it's light snow and clouds here, darn it. If we both get shut out by weather I will not be happy! Let's invent a clear skies magic dance ...

My Clear Sky Chart says I have tonight and Sunday night but the humidly will be high so my images may not be post worthy but I am never out of the fight and I will give it another try.
You might have to give me a lesson on overlaying images to make one, I will Google it if I ever get the time.

That would be a fun project! It's pretty easy to make a GIF animation, but the trick will be to get everything to the same scale and orientation for the separate frames of the animation. I will think about what steps will be necessary. There may be a demo video coming up!

Not long now Van! For the big event. Thanks for sharing as we have fog here in York.

Maybe tonight then clouds and rain for a few days, maybe I will get a few more in before the big event. Thanks

I'm ready to go, weather permitting.
