Default Jupiter & Venus 7-2-08
Hi,

Unexpectedly, the thick clouds cleared, leaving some light haze and light clouds.
The planets are now well apart but still a great sight in the dawn sky.

Nikon D300 with Nikkor 80 to 200 f/2.8ED Zoom Exp 2 seconds @ f/3.5 rated 1250 ISO.

A 100% crop to show Jupiter & four moons.

Now will the clouds stay away for the partial solar eclipse this afternoon??

Clear skies...

Nice shots, I particularly like the tree branches in the foreground.

Great work again, especially getting the four moons out with that much light in the sky.

Kind regards
Matt
