    Here is a collage of the images taken over the last few nights during this amazing conjunction. I recently learned that this is a cyclical event that occurs every eight years! Looking forward to 2028!

    Thanks, SJ! I was fortunate to have mostly clear nights to see this celestial drama play itself out, lol.

    When I looked at each individual post I thought to myself that a collage would be great to show the movement sequence. Lo and behold, here it is!!!

    As always, nice work, Reggie.

    Thanks. You know I couldn't resist, Ed, lol. It's been such a beautiful and striking apparition, just begging to be photographed, and I had a series of clear nights, too :eek:! Good to hear from you, my friend. I hope you're staying safe and getting in some good observing! :)
