Sorry about 'em being off center, but there was something in my way so I did what I could
Remember, this is just my 2nd time out with this setup. The first time, I couldn't get Jupiter in frame to save my butt. :)
I took a few shots and noticed that 'flare'. I think it was light from over the neighbors fence.
Ambient lightThe bane of the backyard astronomer.


I took them at about 5 minute intervals. There are more, but they are all pretty much the same. Still don't have my filters, so they aren't as sharp as we would all like em.
I have an AVI file of both Venus and then Jupiter moving across the sky (yes, I know it's actually the earth moving, but that is what it looks like) 545 megs worth. Will be editing em down for suitable webclips.
