hm ph: 520-586-2244 Nice shooting, Tom. I hope everyone is able to get out at
least tonight and tomorrow to admire the beautiful conjunction of the moon with
the planets Venus and Jupiter. It's quite spectacular, especially in the early
evening sky. I just heard about your shoulder issue. Hope all is well with it.
I can empathize since my shoulder (and entire arm, really) has been
problematical from many years of tennis. I need to do something about the
shoulder one of these years. No, quitting tennis is not an option!
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

This has been a good night for imaging four planets and the Moon at a single
image scale of 0.22 arcseconds per pixel. I left the same Barlow in the
focuser for all five images in this montage. Even in unsteady seeing low in
the sky, the blue filter brought out some cloud detail on Venus. Mars is
nearing opposition, and is still only a diminutive 14".
