Topic: Photo Op.....Monday evening

[astrobeck]

Wherever you are, whatever you do,
take a moment-
better yet, take lots of moments to look west after sundown.

A very photogenic Crescent Moon, with Venus and Saturn will be setting in the west.

excellent - thanks A.B.  I think the clouds shoudl have cleared by then over here so we shoudl get a good view.

i think the giant dust storm (or haboob, as we lovingly refer to them) heading this way is going to obscure my view.

If you missed last night....

we have another chance tonight.

It's worth taking a peek at!

We had clouds here, but I wasted some film on it anyway.   

BTW- Sean, that dust storm headed to Phoenix might make some interesting and ruddy sunset/Moon photos.  Don't take your good lenses out in it though!

With our weather this summer, I'd be happy to see the sun never mind the moon!

good point Chris, although. we've been very lucky in the far southeast - not much rain at all.  those floods this weekend look horrendous, especially after a repeat performance 6 weeks ago - thoughts going out to anyone in the midlands area of England - time to build an ark I think
