On a clear night. . .

The moon, Jupiter and Venus conjoined in the southern sky at suppertime tonight in Shakopee. We watched them from the deck after eating Kathleen's Blackeyed Pea Nacho hotdish. Stan held the camera as steady as he could, leaning it on the handrail, and this was the best of the time exposures. Hey, if you want to see a quality shot, find somebody with a real tripod.
BTW, there was no sign of an orbiting tool bag lost by the St. Paul astronaut.
Meanwhile, 1668 miles away in Venice, Florida, Stan's sister was doing the exact same thing on an ocean dock. See the Jerdee blog below.
