Moon follows Jupiter across the Night


The moon is just starting to wane. Jupiter has been very bright in the southern sky through the spring and summer. Last night the full moon was leading Jupiter but tonight the moon follows. I just took this shot with my Olympus 790 SW from a tripod using "night scene" setting.

Perseid Meteor Shower
Keep an eye on the the sky next week. The Perseids are coming August 11 & 12 (Tuesday night and Wednesday morning). There could be 100 or more meteors per hour. A good reason to spread out a blanket and enjoy the night sky.
