Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, top to bottom, over the hills West of Stone Haven.
Unfortunately, this didn't scan as well as I'd hoped. Check the closeup below for
Mercury's location. |

Here's a closeup of Mercury setting behind the hills. |

Venus and Jupiter next to my old permanent pier, "The Pieramyd". |

Here's a prime focus picture of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction
of 2/23/99. Venus is obviously the planet at the top. Jupiter's moons are, from top to
bottom, I forget. I'll look it up and add it later. oops... This was perhaps one of the
most exciting moments I've had at Stone Haven. To see these two brightest of planets in
the same field of view, moons and all, was truly breathtaking! (There's a couple more like
this with different exposure times on the page. just change the "1" to "2" or "3" and choose
your favorite.) |
