Great photos, Bruce. I'm a bit off on my planetary alignments. What's what there?

In any case, brilliant idea! Bravo!

Oh, I thought part of the "alignment" was another planet. That's how off I am on where everything is these days. :lol:

Anyway, still a great shot!

But had it been around 4 AM or so, it does match up somewhat... :lol:

I was about to say I didn't realize Jupiter was following so close to the moon, and how is the moon still up at 4 AM- then I saw the date of your picture. Yeah alignments like this are always nice to see- but 4 AM? A hard "nope"
