Here's looking at you Jupiter and Venus


Here's something a bit different.
I decided to try my hand as some night time painting using Jupiter and Venus as my brushes and the night sky as my canvas.  With the camera set to BULB mode I focused on both planets and slowly rotated the camera for 6 seconds while the lens remained opened.   I'm pleased with the result (decided to call it "Here's looking at you Jupiter and Venus").
Keep an eye on both planets tomorrow night as these celestial beacons will be mere 3 degrees apart.
You cannot miss them - both are easily spotted in the western sky moments after the sun sets.
Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
Good night,
Claus
