Jupiter and Paintbrush Sky

[yourlibrarian]

Another recent sunset, loved the blurry painted nature of the clouds.









Although I couldn't get both to focus in the same shot, the picture with the two squiggles of light are Jupiter on the left and Venus on the right. The two were particularly close together in the sky this week, which made getting Jupiter in focus a lot easier than a few weeks ago. (They were also lower in the sky on this night).

After several attempts, got the camera to zoom in and focus properly to come up with a view of Jupiter.

I love the sunsets - it does look like a painting!

Doesn't it? I thought when I zoomed in it would be sharper. but nope. Very wispy!

Thanks! It's just 3 views of one sunset but the pieces are all nice to see.

"Paintbrush sky" is a wonderful description.

Thanks for the reminder to dust off my telescope!

If we can get anything past a point of light with a camera, for sure you must have an amazing view with a telescope!

Wow, yes, the sunset is like a detail from a Turner painting. P.
