Mercury with Pleiades

April 29th, 2009 by Tavi Greiner

Last night’s sunset viewing was gorgeous.  A few thin clouds drifted through and ground-level moisture kept me busy drying dew, but the sky was beautiful and the stars were bright.

Although I had more success through the binoculars than the camera lens, I did manage a couple of okay images of the crescent moon and Pleaides with Mercury, as well as a just-for-fun image of a passing jet. (You can click the first image for full-sized version, and then click next at the top-right corner of the image to scroll through to the other two images. Click the x in the bottom-right corner to close the images.)
