And so it begins,the final stages of the long journey Venus and Jupiter have made as the come together for the finale on July 1. Campare these images to the ones on June 20 and 21 respectively (my campaign to follow the pair as they got closer was derailed by cloud).
Tonight the pair were just too far apart to be in my widefield lens on the 4″ Newtonian, hopefully tomorrow night they will ake it, then by the 1st they should be in the mid-field eyepice.
Crossing fingers for clear skies.
