Let’s try blogging a few photos from Nantucket
Here’s a telephoto of Jupiter, now high in the southern night sky, and especially clear from Nantucket. You can see a couple moons on the left. Sony F818, formerly made of unobtainium:
Jupiter on top, and an aircraft leaving ACK:
A little faint, but Jupiter with Scorpio, one of my favorite constellations. From these latitudes, Scorpio is only up for a couple hours a day. One of the minor surprises of my life occurred during a trip to Australia. I was stargazing and didn’t recognize the oddly-familiar constellation because it was “upside down” and directly overhead.
