I will be trying to get an image every night this week as Venus and Jupiter approach one another, culminating in their conjunction Thursday night. I'll be posting these images on my blog. Below are thumbnails.

I'm in northern California. Until October our weather will be the same every day. :-)

The Moon will enter the picture soon too, which will make this even cooler!

Very nice pictures. And the weekly shots are a good idea too.
