The Moon and Jupiter

I'm hoping for another clear night tomorrow, as I was kind of rushed trying to get these tonight, but I don't think they turned out too bad.

Very nice !

Excellent shots!! But that's Venus, not Jupiter. Jupe and Mercury are setting about one hour after the sun-- might be hard to catch, depending on how obstructed your horizon is.

DOH!!!

Upon further research, you are correct, that is Venus and not Jupiter.

I was going to say that was Venus, as I caught it last night with the moon too...hoping for clear skies today as they'll be a lot closer. Good shots though.
