The Moon and Jupiter, 23 March 2009

The Moon and Jupiter reflected in a pool of water (click to embiggen). Seen at 5:30 am from Adelaide on Monday March 23.

Daylight Jupiter was pretty much a bust. Colud see it just after sunrise, but at later hours it could only be picked up in binoculars.

Isn't it nice to step out in the cool of morning, and know the slip of the Old Moon is there, somewhere...just has to be, and then to spot it just at the first blue? And then with Jupiter, also, as advertised, and reflected in water also. It is an excellent picture, Ian, but I would lay odds that the experience was better.
