Is anyone else planing to photograph these planets as they converg in the Eastern sky just before dawn? (Western Hemisphere) Next time 2053.
I was hoping to get some tips.
Camera, tripod, longest lens, and cable release ready.

If someone manages to get photo's though, I for one would sure like to see them. Happy Shooting, Herb

It was pretty cool to see the three planets together. Since the planets were close to the sun we couldnt swing the scope around to image them. But we did check out Saturn (directly below the moon).

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

- I think a lot depends where you are and whether in 2053 you are able to remember to do it
