Night Photos from the N. American west coast

Conjunction of the new moon (15%) and the planet Venus (64%).

Hi -

First, congrats to the K1 camera winner. I have had input to the June photos contest only, lately.

I noticed this pretty conjuction after eight p.m., Pacific time.

The photo was taken at 9:45 p.m., + 2/3 e.v. and hand held, after a few 'Mulligans'!

Then I raised the ISO a bit. ; )

The event was predicted but I had not remembered that.

Please note that approaching July 31st we have the chance of a lifetime to see Mars more clearly.

That will be at 3 to 4 a.m. Pacific time though... and due south at about 25% elevation.

Regards, /C

I wonder is it visible from Ireland.

Hi -

About seeing Mars from Ireland... you are six or seven hours ahead of Vancouver time.

So I would guess about 10 p.m. and further to the west, maybe south-west?

Given clear weather there is a window of a couple of weeks. But you might consult astronomy software.

On Android I have SkyPortal (from Celestron).

And on the desktop (even w/o a network hookup) I have 'Stellarium'. It should be 'cross-platform'.

Stellarium has support from the gov't of Austria.

Good luck. Cheers, C.
