Wow, Venus and Jupiter continue to put a dazzling evening show, especially for skywatchers, such as myself. Can you tell which planet is which? Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Thursday evening, July 2, 2015; 9:14 p.m.)
Astronomy news:
Venus and Jupiter continue their dance in the sky at dusk. Venus and Jupiter had their close conjunction just last Tuesday (June 30, 2015), but the show isn’t over. They were still quite close together; two unequal 'stars,' now about a thumb’s width apart at arm’s length, lined up horizontally. With a little imagination, they look like the two bright eyes of some ethereal sky beast, or a great kitty in the dusk with flashlight eyes. Ok, more of astronomy... Jupiter appears less than a tenth as bright as Venus. In the coming days, the planets would then start to separate further while remaining horizontal. They’ll also sink lower each evening. But another conjunction was to occur. The moon, Venus and Jupiter will again put a dazzling show but was to be lower near the horizon. By the time the crescent moon passes them on July 18 and 19, you’ll have to look for them while the sky is still a bit bright in order to catch them before they set.
Being a novice aiming for a reflection nebula with an unmodded DSLR and small telescope on an unguided mini-tracking mount. (PS. Borrowed my wife's camera to capture the setup)

Tras una noche horrenda en la que no encontraba nada de nada (salvo un cúmulo globular por ahí perdido), aproveché para sacar la primera fotito del año a Júpiter.
Para mi sorpresa (teniendo en cuenta la noche y que aun sigo usando el ocular Super Plössl de 10 mm. horror que me venía con el teles) ha salido esta foto con una cantidad de detalle impresionante. Es la primera vez que obtengo una imagen de planetaria en la que veo más detalle en foto que en visual.
Los datos: obtenida a través de un Dobson Skywatcher 200/1200, un ocular Super Plössl de 10 mm., y una cámara Canon IXUS 50 a pulso sobre ocular. Video de 900 frames procesado con Registax y retoque de wavelets, brillo y contraste.

One image got messed up hence the gap. I could not understand why DSS would make image of comet grey when i did dual preccess (both comet and stars fozen), but i ended up just going with comet stack, and not caring about star trails. This is the first time I have ever imaged a comet, so this quite new to me.

This is my new SkyWatcher Esprit 80 f5 400mm focal length. Looks optically superb, and very well made. Focuser from the back. Focuser can take both 2" and 1.5" eyepieces. A 3" focuser would have been nice so I could use the monster Explore Scientific 100 degree 30mm eyepiece...(and it is a MONSTER).
Appennini Lunari.
I Montes Apenninus sono una catena montuosa che si trova sulla Luna e che prende il nome dall'omonima catena montuosa italiana.
