Really nice shots Joe.

As I set off for work Monday night I saw these two very bright stars....sorry....planets, I new one was Venus but could not think for the life of me what the other was. :think:

Many thanks for clearing that up, must have read my mind!! :lol:

thats right and I'll tell ya what,, ...better get the car tuned before you take that trip........ :tab:


right Kevin I forgot the world is round and that the whole world may be reading this ...((hello world :wave: ).
should have quantified that time frame with "viewable from this here area" :lol:
however jupiter and the moon will be close again, new years day, ....pre dawn accualy :worried:

heres a few more, afew more

the last one is Photoshopped . Two of the birds are as the were in the original pic , which did I copy and paste
not too hard to tell really...

first one use caution! sun glasses may be required :cool:
don't put this on your desktop and stare at it ... you'll see spots after....

interesting .. used PS 6.0 , auto contrast or auto levels didn't change the photo, a tad,... but .
a little unsharp mask and contrast , slight color balance and then resized

Know what?
i got real lucky with the timming, a cold front had come thru on Sunday, and Monday was'nt good either.
but as the sun started to go down the last line of clouds passed which I captured in the second shot
the last line I did'nt wait around for ....it was freezing! it's been unseasonlly cool , below normal for the last 14 days.
must be the global war :roll: ming.

thanks for looking
