After work tonight, I stuck around the Groton area to photograph the conjunction of three solar system bodies – the Moon, Jupiter and Venus – in the evening sky. Luckily the clouds cooperated again and I was able to get some decent shots of the trio in the sky.
While along the Thames, I got a few various shots of what I came for – the trio of planets – along with a couple shots of Shaw’s Cove, Thames River draw and the USCG’s Barque Eagle. And without further adieu, here they all are!

Awww man. I saw the planets last ngiht and was hoping you woudl drag your telescope out and get us some nice pictures. 🙂
Heh… Naw, all three never would have fit in the telescope at once. 2,000mm focal length is a quite tight field of view… 🙂
Nice work Tom!
but seeing Jupiter would have been cool.
Thanks Nick!
John – Yeah, I know, it would have been cool…I’ll have to lug the monster out sometime soon…
