Taking my Best Shot

This evening I tried to shoot the triple conjunction from a ridge south of Livermore, CA. The bright planet near the top of the image is Jupiter, the bright one near the horizon is Mercury, and the very faint planet up to the right of Mercury (near the right edge of the photo) is Saturn. Astronomical events like a triple conjunction won’t wait for my learning curve, though. Nevertheless, it was fun to try to capture an image of this part of God’s beautiful creation.
