Hello,
Last night, we were quite lucky (at last): good weather, no waking up early the next morning and a planets-moon conjunction! (Untreated planetary images)
This was the configuration (after 22:00) (Starry Night)
The place (I arrived first)!
The ETX90 and the Moon-Venus sky, after sunset:
Aiming:
I used the ETX90 with the Barlow 2x; ToUcam Pro Philips ; the Mare Crisium:
A particularly brilliant Venus, visible until about 01:00 am: (defect from the barlow lens: red and blue aura)
Mars (further and further away)
Saturn:
Jupiter (with Io):
Nicolas Devillers made this beautiful picture of Venus (Celestron G8, Iris treatment):
Io's shadow from Optiek De Pauw (in Flanders):
