Jupiter & Saturn in the trees at 6:45 pm. That’s about as close to looking like one star from my view-point.
Sahsa was looking for the conjunction but said all she could see was the ceiling. Silly Kitty.
Jupiter & Saturn at 6:40 pm.
This is the best shot I got of Jupiter & Saturn with 4 of Jupiter’s moons. I believe the light on the lower right is a star.
Another shot a little closer.
Our neighbor’s star reflecting on conjunction.

6:00 pm Saturn and Jupiter closing in on each other.
A closer view of Saturn and Jupiter at 6:00 pm. The lights coming off at an angle from Jupiter might be a few of its 79 moons.
Wild moon
Saturn & Jupiter in the Tangle Heart Tree. I had to get way back into the wilds of the dark bosque with coyotes and chupacabras nipping at my heels to get the shot.
I made my way back onto the levy at the same time as the coyotes.
There were two of them and they paid little attention to me even though we were close to each other. After I lightened up the photo, I could see the coyote on the left had a bad case of mange.
I started walking towards the coyotes. They took one last look before they scurried into the bosque.
Crow flying under the quarter moon.
Saturn and Jupiter through the trees. They are supposed to conjoin in three days.
Crows over cranes at dusk.
Crows, crane, Sliver Moon over Mia’s Tree.
Intermission: Daddy owl hooted at me in the dark and got my attention. +2 stops made for an interesting exposure.
Crows and Sliver Moon.
An alignment of Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity, a plane, and the Sliver Moon under the Tangle Heart Tree. Saturn is trying to shine through the clouds above Jupiter.
Saturn, Jupiter, Sliver Moon, cottonwood
Contrails and clouds. Saturn, the Bringer of old age. Jupiter, the Bringer of jollity.
Saturn and Jupiter on December 7th.
I wanted to photograph Saturn and Jupiter every night in December, but so far between cloudy skies and getting out too late because I was doing other things and missed the narrow window between when it’s dark enough to see them and when they disappear behind the trees, I photographed them on the 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th, and 15th. Five out of 15 nights is not my best, not my best at all. They are converging, and currently, the forecast is for clear skies on Monday when Saturn and Jupiter conjoin. I’ll see if the forecast is correct, and I’m planning on photographing them every night for the next six nights.

Eye would say that was a good session.
You’re a real comic Siver. Spunk goes for Jugging.
…throw it all in the recycle bin.
In preparation for moving, I’m purging prehistoric software. Some of it goes back to the 1980s, most of it the 1990s. Either way, it’s like several million years old in cyber-time.
I couldn’t get Windows 98 to the recycle bin before it crashed — chaos reigns within.
Chaos reigned within the sbliminal, bit/byte backmasking in these old Microsft CDs.
Chaos reigned within the grocery store when a pigeon perched above the pickles.
If you spin these CDs backwards you see “Bill Gates is Lord! Chaos Reigns Within!”
Chaos reigned within the “sneaker net”. Networking was optional. No cat videos on the Internet.
Microsoft Office 4.2.1 on 33 install disks. Chaos reigned within installing that sucker.
Moon & Venus rising at 6:00 am.
I woke up at 5:45 am this morning to a sliver moon peeking through the window and Venus hanging out in the trees. I got up, put on shoes, checked the temp, 18º F outside, grabbed my camera, and headed out into the cold and dark. I took a series of photos of the moon and Venus rising over the next hour.

Venus had disappeared and the moon was just barely a sliver as the sun was getting ready to rise at 7:03 am.
The moon had faded to a tiny sliver by 7:04 am.
