Details:
It was a fabulous morning for seeing and shooting the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter with Mars nearby. I was at Lake Annette, in Jasper National Park, Alberta, home to the just-concluded annual Dark Sky Festival where I presented as a guest speaker. Sunday, Oct 25 was our first clear morning for getting good shots of the conjunction, with some high haze adding photogenic glows around the stars and planets. Two of the images are multi-segment panoramas, sweeping from the planets in the east, over to Orion and the winter stars in the south. I shot both under the still dark sky from the north shore of the lake, then moved to the east shore to grab images of the planets over the water as the dawn twilight brightened the sky.
