Venus and Jupiter - 2015




Venus conjunction 2015
What it looked like (middle), close-up (left) and from my 4" telescope (right).

The last time the 'Venus and Jupiter conjunction' occurred was in 2012.  This time it is worthwhile because I managed to capture a good and clear shot of Venus in the cloudless sky - which was also a very hot day. I have been prepping for a month seeing these 'two' terrestrial bodies getting closer and closer to each other as shown in the photos below.

New upgrade wishlist - ZWO ASI034MC.  To replace my old Celestron Neximage 0.34 camera.
What do you think?
