Convergence

Okay - so it's not a great shot, but at least I got one of the convergence of the moon, Jupiter and Venus tonight in the western twilight sky. Thanks to Jim for originally clueing me in that this was happening, and for Susan Treesh of JerseyBirds for sending out a note to look out my back door.

Fabulous! It has been totally overcast in Atlanta, so I wasn't able even to see the convergence let alone get a lovely shot of it.

Nice picture of the moon Marty. You can get a rocket brush to clean those specks off the sensor or try cloning them out with PS.

Ooh, yours is much better than my unimaginative shot. Yours has tonality and context. Well done, Marty.

Very pretty, I like the framing from the branches in the foreground. I had the opposite with moutains in the background. Seen below:

This is great Marty! Glad someone saw it. Our weather was typical for this time of year, and we could barely see across the street. Sky? Where?
