The Christmas Star…

Edit- Apparently the blog went down sometime last night. Thanks to Barron for getting it back up quickly!!!

Was a bit disappointing last night, but the chance to see it was worth the effort.

Here are two of the pics I took last night, one a distant shot, and one with a telephoto. I didn’t have a telescope…

But it does bring back memories of navigating in the P-3s back before GPS and all the fancy stuff… I always loved to find the North Star and Jupiter, with those two I could get a good ballpark fix on where we were!  Last night, Jupiter was 20h 11m 08s,  -20° 31’ 00”, -1.97

  1. Cool pics. I wondered why I couldn’t see ’em earlier. I posted some blather about catching a sat on the bridge. Oh, well, no loss, sometimes even I don’t believe my own sea stories!
