Moon and Jupiter Conjunction 4-17-16

Tonight had a fantastic conjunction of our Moon and the planet Jupiter, meaning they were very close to each other in the night sky. This image is a composite of two separate images with different exposures that I combined together to create the final image. Taken with a Canon 450d at f/5.6 1/400s and 4s at ISO 100

Conjunction of the Moon and Venus 12/7/2015

This morning 12/7/2015 was the 2015 Conjunction of the Moon and Venus. It occurred locally in the Coachella Valley at about 8:00 am. I was able to catch a few pictures in between wispy clouds, and it turned out to be a beautiful sight indeed.
