Thank you, Tanya, Don, Bubbalinn, Carol, Art, Zoya and Talsi, for all your nice comments. The only extra equipment I used was a tripod! Lol! I just watched a History Channel program about Christmas and they proposed that the Wisemen were referring to a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus as the Christmas star. Intruiguing thought to say the least.

Hi Karen, Great capture of the conjunction!! I was also out snapping away, I guess we were lucky with no clouds in sight. I kept changing settings and got photos from overexposed to way underexposed.

Hey Karen, very nice capture of the gathering! I like the earthglow you caught on the moon. I have been waiting for this for months to photograph it. It just wasn't meant to be :-(. We were completely socked in with clouds here. I actually thought of driving about 8 hrs East to try and find an opening yesterday, but decided not to. Very nice work! Don

Nice capture. I had too much cloud cover to photograph it, but I did get a glimpse of it as the clouds were passing through.
