It was cloudy all day today...... with the odd shower thrown in for good measure.
According to the weather forecast website that I follow there was to be a break in the clouds around teatime....
They were thankfully right!!! :0)
Like magic the clouds parted.... and as the days light faded I was greeted with the the Moon and Venus dancing above the trees at the end of our garden.... PERFECT !! :0)
I was using our Nikon D50 camera with a 300mm lens set up on a tripod.
For the above shots the camera was set up at 1/13 of a second ISO at f9.

Also I was able to capture a bit of the Da Vinci Glow (Earth Shine)... and you can also see from this photo a bit of glow from some passing clouds.
I noticed Jupiter was almost due South and I was wondering if the 300mm camera lens would be able to pick out any detail of the Jovian Moons...
I aimed the camera and tried a two second exposure...
This was the result........Jupiter's satellites are clearly visible...
Wonderful celestial show tonight...
I would like to say a big Thank You to all the clouds for staying away :0)
Some people.....tea and celestial treats just in the nick of time!
