I braved the cold to take a few photos of the conjunction... http://smithplanet.com/astro/solarsystem/conjunctions/images/final.jpg And with labels... http://smithplanet.com/astro/solarsystem/conjunctions/images/finalLabelled.j... Not visible is Europa, which was directly in front of Jupiter at the time. Bracketed exposures using a DSLR and 250mm lens. Jared On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 4:56 PM, Rodger C.

I just found Jupiter in daylight with a 10x50mm bino using the moon as a guide. 4:10 pm MST. The sun still about ten or twelve degrees above the horizon. Easy in the bino, but I left my glasses in the house so it was impossible to see naked-eye. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
