Triangle


If you read this today, maybe you will still have the chance to see it. These days, Jupiter (mù xīng) and Venus (jīn xīng) are getting close to conjunction, and the Moon has joined them very close today. All together creates a very nice triangle up in the sky. And in a day so beautiful as today —we are very lucky lately— the scene was complete with the last colors of sunset. Can you tell which is which?

I just saw them five minutes ago on my way up to the JCMT: it's so hard to remember to look at the sky when you're observing it ;-)

Excellent!. I bet the relative position of the Moon is different now. At least it was in some pictures I saw from a friend in Catalonia.

How are the observations. I am right now in the middle of mine with the KP12m, and no place clean of CO to get an off-position :(
