Details:
While this was absolutely a sight, not to be missed, no one i asked considered it to be legend-worthy for the observer. None would have written stories describing an event involving celestial heroes or traumatic events. The drama has deperted from Earth's sky. While still quite a view,, It was certainly no equal to what must have once been seen, in the ancient sky, to cause those viewers to generate legends depicting far more dramatic events: Venus, The Goddess with long flowing hair; The Comet Venus; Clash of the Titans; The Thunderbolt of Zeus, "Thunderbolts of the Gods"; Mars The Warrior Hero, and the list goes on and on. Nothing in our present sky can satisfy these descriptions found globally and preserved by the oldest cultures... Why the contrast in descriptions? The answer has emerged though Plasma Cosmology and Comparative Mythology, revealing that dramatic changes have occurred in our Solar System, in the not so distant past, about 7,000 years ago +/- a bit. Event Viewed with Nexstar4 telescope, photos through visual-Back, without an extension tube and with- using a 20mm eye piece. Canon t2i: Exposure compensated: -3 @1600iso, Shutter Speed: (w/o ext.)=1/8sec, with=1sec. Viewing Through an eyepiece was much easier and more detailed than photographing with this setup. But fitting two planets into 1 frame using an extension tube and 20mm lens was quite gratifying, it almost canceled out years of frustration and the chilled fingers from many nights of practice and trouble shooting. Much to learn about celestial photography and thanks go out to SpaceWeather.com hosts and all the people who post detailed info here and elsewhere.
