Night sky

Postby swerve » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:27 pm

I was a real treat to see the moon/ Venus / Jupiter and the Pleiades ( seven sisters ) all at the same time this morning at 3am uk time. Anyone else see this.

Thanks for kind comments.
Nikon D40X
Lens at 66mm focal length, 5 seconds exposure at f 4.1
ISO 1600
On a tripod

Yes, real clouds, in fact 10 minutes later it was completely obscured.
From the top-
Jupiter
Moon
Aldebaran in Taurus (slightly to the right)
Venus brightest at the bottom.
Other stars can be seen which make the V in Taurus, although it's more like a > in that picture.
