Last night we had the northern lights going on like crazy! Soo nice too look at.They reached as far south as Nashville. I heard about them on the radio at 1:00am and went outside to see them, but after an hour of nothing, I gave up. I really would have liked to have seen them. Maybe they'll come down again while I'm taking pictures of the conjunction in the morning. :food

I have to say I SAW it this morning!!!!!!

We had crystal clear skies this morning and they were shining SOOOO BRIGHT!!!! :shocking

Since I saw this thread last night, I got to the bus lot and told my coworkers, "Look, there's Jupiter and Venus this morning." I sounded educated;)

I hope their there tomorrow????

Yes. The Moon will have moved down below the planets by then though.

What program was used for this image?Sky Map Pro 8.0, demo version.

(I hope some of the folks in Asia caught the drift of what I told Wazlady and went out to see the Moon in the middle of the planets...)

Sky Map Pro 8.0, demo version.
I've got an old DOS program called SkyGlobe. It can only display up to 800x600, but it is extremely accurate. Works great in XP command prompt too.

However... if you are not good with DOS executable prompts, probably don't want to mess with it.
