Venus and the crescent Moon, March 26, 2012



Black and white with a red filter accentuates the contrast

- the red filter darkens the blue sky.

Venus and the Moon in the Daytime (March 26, 2012)





I could see the planet clearly without any binoculars or telescope.

Saturday Morning View

Greetings -
This morning I woke up at 5am and went out and saw the
Great Red Spot on Jupiter a little to the right of center.
It was clearly visible, and some scalloped areas were visible
on the edge of the northern belts. All four Galilean moons
were visible, not spread too far apart.
I used a Meade ETX 5 inch telescope.
