WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Me-Now-Views; Less Speak More Peek

 A DAY IN THE NIGHT...
An evening sky drops to dark
the YAMster's up with the proverbial lark
or earlier, really, and looked on high
to see a fulling moon beaming bright
Saturn and Venus in the dawning light...
oh the wonders of the sky!


You'd be forgiven thinking deja vu... but no, this was yet another wonder sunset eve

Not quite the mellow Harvest Moon, but showing its intention


no tripod so a little shake on the actual planet - but if you look closely
(biggify!) you can see the 'echo' Saturn in the double glazing,
which thrilled me more than it probably ought...


...what struck me about this was the little, fainter point of light below Venus. 
(Again, biggify/expand, it is just above the leaves of the tree.)
Not noticed with my naked eye and only revealed on uploading.
Research of the timing and positions of that morning suggest it is Uranus - 
bonus!!!

    A lovely sequence. I looked and looked at the first two for what you described, oh yes, down in the forth or fifth. And, hooray for Uranus.

    A lovely series. I read that it would be possible to see 5 planets in the early morning sky but I live where there is too much "light pollution" to see them. In the fall I will travel to a better location for viewing though I don't think I will see all 5.

      It's true - and Jupiter and Mars were very much present also, but not at and angle I could photograph them last week. Yxx
