Early Morning Glimpse of Saturn and Jupiter

You can also see sloping towards the right some of the brighter stars in the constellation Sagittarius.

I have been guessing, and I think correctly, that most people do not realize the Moon is visible in morning daylight.

This early morning view was simply too good to miss, so yes, I stayed up to at least see it when the Moon had risen high in the South.

I tried to get the overall sharpness, contrast, and brightness as close to the image from two nights ago as possible.

Here is another “by chance” image. I was outside early evening to photograph the rising Moon with my Canon EOS, to get a daytime shot.

With excellent viewing conditions on this cool night, I took a number of pictures of the Moon with my telescope and iPhone.

Time to start getting the telescopes out more regularly, as the weather warms but is not too warm yet.

I knew I had to act quickly to photograph them, as they were moving fast and I didn’t know how long they would be visible or if more were coming.

I took a number of images of the nebula, playing around with the exposure and ISO settings.

Inspired by other blogs such as Heads UP! taking cool pictures of Venus near the Pleiades, I knew I had to get in on the action myself.
