The Night Sky

The horizon glow was such a contrast to the blackening clouds approaching it.



Venus has been particularly bright in our sky and even Jupiter (which does have a red shine!) is also very noticeable, usually on our horizon.



The best I was able to do was the one above being Venus, and the other two being Jupiter. I still find it amazing we can see a sphere with just a zoom lens camera.

Beautiful photos!

Wow, cameras have come a long way to be able to resolve a planet at all.

Wow, your planet shots are amazing. I've never tried stellar astrophotography.

Great pics

Apparently we'll be getting an alignment of five planets this evening!
