Cheating, Sort Of...


I will spare you the long drawn out excuse. We did have company for dinner tonight, and it was late when they left, and then I decided to go out to the side yard and do some more observing. Now it is 2:30 AM and I didn't shoot today and I need a blog post. So here is one other choice I thought I might post last night. It is Jupiter seen through a thin cloud while we were waiting for clearing. I just think this has a nice quality to it, and I wouldn't normally think of doing an astrophoto with clouds in it, but the clouds were a fact of life for a time last night, so I thought I would see what I could get. The orange coloration is actually true to the scene - it is the glow of light pollution illuminating the clouds.
