Details:
Spaceweather.com indicated that stepping outside to see the triple conjunction after sunset was a good way to end the day. Well, despite the bitter cold temperatures here in Pennsylvania, I would have to agree. Venus and the slender moon were visible even before sunset. It didn't take long for Mars to make its appearance after the sun had finally set. Temperature at imaging time was 14 degrees F.
The International Space Station even made an appearance shortly before 7pm local time.
