Triple conjuction

#1

Post by OzEclipse »


In the "Astronomy News" sub-forum, I posted a heads up post (viewtopic.php?p=141048#p141048) about a triple conjunction between Jupiter, Mercury and Comet Tempel 10P.

I had a go at it this morning using a Vixen VC200L.
TIME OF ASTRONOMICAL TWILIGHT: 18:25UTC
VISUAL OBSERVATION TIME: 18:20UTC
PHOTOGRAPHIC OBSERVATION TIME: 18:50UTC

Visual: Using a Nagler 31mm and averted imagination, I was trying to convince myself I could see a smudge in the location but I could not.

Photographic: I attached the camera to the Vixen with the dedicated field flattener and was just able to detect it photographically

From this location, a 35 satellite Starlink skytrain was supposed to pass through the field. I didn't see anything.
