OK, I was really mixed up. It was a moon-Jupiter conjunction (which is what I thought it was when I saw it!) I took some pics. Then I started reading about a moon-Venus occultation on this newsgroup and assumed -- wrongly -- that this is what happened this morning. I thought it looked far too dim and high to be Venus, but figured, well, I've been wrong many a time before.

I just got in from imaging both from my front yard. I could barely(I mean barely!) fit Jupiter and a corner of the Moon in the same field of view on my 10" f/10 LX-50 with a f/6.3 reducer using my Nikon D7000. Seeing was horrible but it wsa nice to get outside in the chilly night air anyways. Now time to sleep... Howard --- On Sat, 9/8/12, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
